What to consider in reporting germline VUS
September 2026—When Heidi Rehm, PhD, and other researchers examined more than 1.5 million diagnostic sequencing test results from 19 clinical laboratories, they found an astonishing rate of inconclusive reports due to variants of uncertain significance—nearly a third in diagnostic multigene panel testing.
AMP case report: Is undifferentiated sarcoma with EWSR1-POU5F1 fusion a molecularly defined entity?
September 2026—About 30 percent of soft tissue sarcomas are associated with chromosomal translocations leading to the formation of chimeric fusion genes that modify cellular function, leading to dysregulation of proliferation and resulting in clinically and genetically distinct neoplasms. EWSR1 is a commonly rearranged gene in sarcomas that can fuse as the 5’ partner with various genes. EWSR1-rearranged sarcomas include angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma, clear cell sarcoma of soft parts, Ewing sarcoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, clear cell sarcoma-like tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as round cell sarcoma with EWSR1-non-ETS fusions. Herein, we report an unusual case of EWSR1-POU5F1 fusion in an undifferentiated sarcoma. It has previously been described in myoepithelial tumors,3 but it has been described in undifferentiated sarcomas only a couple of times in the literature, to the best of our knowledge.
AMP case report: Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia in a patient with BRCA1-positive breast cancer and a DDX41 possibly germline variant
August 2026—The 2022 World Health Organization and International Consensus Classification frameworks recognize several well-defined myeloid neoplasm categories that arise in the setting of inherited genetic predisposition. These entities are grouped according to associated clinical features and include myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition in the absence of antecedent platelet abnormalities or organ dysfunction (e.g. CEBPA, DDX41, and TP53), those associated with inherited platelet disorders (e.g. RUNX1, ANKRD26, and ETV6), and disorders linked to underlying or potential organ dysfunction.
In select patients, taking aim at metastatic CRC
July 2026—Being able to distinguish the subset of patients with stage IV colorectal cancer who have a chance at cure with ablation or resection from those who do not has been the aim of two University of Chicago physicians who developed a biomarker for colorectal liver metastases called PersonaCRC.
AMP case report: Hypermutated stage IIC colon carcinoma with a rare POLE exonuclease variant and co-occurring MSH6 and PIK3CA alterations
July 2026—Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) with hypermutation is most commonly associated with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency; however, defects in DNA polymerase proofreading represent an important alternative mechanism. Recognition of POLE-driven hypermutation has diagnostic and therapeutic implications, particularly in microsatellite-stable CRC.
Early days for menin inhibitor monitoring
June 2026—In the cat-and-mouse maneuverings that often propel new cancer treatments, menin inhibitors are proving to be successful epigenetic therapies for acute leukemia. Last November brought FDA approval of revumenib for treatment of adults and children (one year and older) with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with NPM1 gene mutations.
ESR1 mutation testing questions follow trial
May 2026—When it comes to cancer mutations, there are big fish in little ponds, and little fish in big ponds, and big fish in big ponds, and little fish in little ponds. The ESR1 mutation and its emergence in advanced breast cancer is still deciding what stripe of fish it is—or rather, breast specialists, researchers, and the FDA are in the midst of figuring out potentially important uses …
Experts talk sequencing platforms and pressures
May 2026—The fast-changing world of sequencing was the topic that a panel of pathologists and industry representatives dug into in a Feb. 27 online roundtable, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle.
In brain tumors, new use for CSF cfDNA
April 2026—It’s hard to mount an argument against the Great Plains. Nor is there much reason to. But drive across eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, or the Dakotas, and it is a bona fide thrill to arrive in Wyoming’s northwest corner and see the Grand Tetons rising up in spectacular fashion.
