Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare soft tissue tumor primarily occurring in the abdominopelvic region of young patients, and it is characterized by spindle-shaped myofibroblasts, or fibroblasts surrounded by inflammatory infiltrate. Herein, we report a case of a 24-year-old male with a firm submucosal mass in the anterior right vocal fold diagnosed as an IMT that recurred 14 months later. The tumor demonstrated a novel THBS1::ALK fusion containing Exons 1-7 of the thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) gene fused to Exon 19 of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene via next-generation sequencing with the NextSeq sequencer. The fusion of THBS1 to …

BACKGROUND: Herein, we report results from a genome-wide study conducted to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) for circulating angiogenic and inflammatory protein markers in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The study was conducted using genotype, protein marker, and baseline clinical and demographic data from CALGB/SWOG 80405 (Alliance), a randomized phase III study designed to assess outcomes of adding VEGF or EGFR inhibitors to systemic chemotherapy in mCRC patients. Germline DNA derived from blood was genotyped on whole-genome array platforms. The abundance of protein markers was quantified using a multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from plasma derived from peripheral venous …
