Durable Response in NTRK Fusion-Positive Advanced Salivary Gland Tumor: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction:NTRK fusions lead to the production of constitutively active TRK proteins, which drive oncogenesis in approximately 0.2% of cancers. However, these fusions occur more frequently in salivary gland-type tumors, making them a promising therapeutic target in patients with advanced disease. Recent studies have shown that TRK inhibitors, such as entrectinib, larotrectinib and repotrectinib, are effective in treating solid tumors harboring NTRK gene fusions. This underscores the importance of incorporating comprehensive molecular profiling in these tumors to identify actionable biomarkers and broaden treatment options.
