TBC

Topic 2: NTRK-fusion sarcomas – case presentation and pathological diagnosis
Presenter: Prof. Kenneth Tou En Chang, Head of Department, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Singapore

Abstract:
NTRK fusion sarcomas are rare but important to diagnose as TRK inhibitors may be effective in their treatment. In this presentation, we discuss an adolescent who presented with a sarcoma harbouring a novel NTRK gene fusion. The tumour was initially responsive to targeted treatment but subsequently developed a resistance mutation. In addition, we will discuss the different diagnostic techniques that can be used in the clinical setting to diagnose NTRK fusion sarcomas.
