Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) fusions and their role in cancer

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) fusions are rare, therapeutically actionable, and, in some cases, diagnostic oncogenic events that can occur in a variety of adult and pediatric cancers. Cytopathologists need to be a familiar with the types of tumors that can harbor NTRK fusions to triage specimens accordingly for testing.
