Abstract:

Comprehensive genome profiling (CGP) has been reimbursed under Japan's national health insurance since 2019 for patients with advanced solid tumors, including head and neck cancers. Despite this, genomic insights into rare nasal carcinoma subtypes remain limited, hindering subtype-specific therapeutic strategies. To characterize the genetic mutational profiles of recurrent and/or metastatic nasal carcinoma across histological subtypes using data from the Japanese National Genomic Profiling Database. Materials and methods: Genomic data from 135 patients with nasal carcinoma were analyzed, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 48), neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (n = 52), adenocarcinoma (n = 20), and undifferentiated carcinoma (n = 15). All cases were registered in the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT), National Cancer Center Japan, between June 2019 and May 2025. Mutations were identified via FoundationOne CDx next-generation sequencing. Survival analysis employed the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model. Results: TP53 and KMT2D were frequently mutated across all subtypes. In SCC, KMT2D (p = 0.03), EGFR (p = 6.4 × 10-), and RICTOR (p = 0.03) mutations correlated with poor prognosis. No significant differences were found among subtypes in mutation count or tumor mutational burden (TMB). Discussion: Shared and distinct mutational patterns were observed, with prognostic relevance in SCC. These findings underscore the importance of genomic stratification in rare nasal carcinomas. Conclusions: CGP reveals key genetic drivers in nasal carcinoma, supporting its role in precision oncology and informing future subtype-specific therapeutic approaches.

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
