Abstract:
A 6-year-old female presenting with an abdominal mass was found to have an unresectable undifferentiated sarcoma. The tumor did not respond to multiagent chemotherapy. However, molecular testing identified an NTRK3-fusion, and treatment was changed to larotrectinib monotherapy. Following 6 months of therapy, the patient achieved a very good partial response with 96% reduction in tumor size. She underwent proton beam radiation therapy with continued larotrectinib therapy and achieved a complete response. This case report shows that an NTRK fusion positive undifferentiated sarcoma can be safely treated with larotrectinib and radiation therapy and highlights the importance of early molecular testing.
