Anti‐TRK targeted therapies offer opportunities to treat patients with advanced NTRK1/2/3‐rearranged cancers. Beyond NTRK‐rearranged secretory breast carcinomas, little is known about NTRK rearrangements and the expression of TRK proteins in non‐secretory breast carcinomas. We search for TRK proteins expressions using pan‐TRK immunohistochemistry and NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 rearrangements using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) tests in a set of tissue microarray included breast carcinomas. Only 1/339 invasive breast carcinomas, the only example of secretory subtype, was positive using pan‐TRK immunohistochemistry and harboured a NTRK‐rearrangement (NTRK1 positive FISH test). According to our results, druggable NTRK rearrangements and related‐TRK proteins expression are not encountered in non‐secretory breast carcinomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
