Sarcoidosis-Induced Hypercalcemia in a Patient With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A (MEN2A) Syndrome Harboring the C609Y REarranged During Transfection (RET) Mutation. (PubMed, AACE Endocrinol Diabetes)
Patient was managed acutely with calcitonin and was started on prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. The co-occurrence of both MEN 2A and sarcoidosis is rare, adding an unexpected layer of complexity to the diagnosis. The rarity of sarcoidosis co-occurring with MEN 2A highlights the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis, even in patients with known genetic syndromes, to ensure accurate management.

Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy Caused by Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein-Secreting Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
Herein, we present a rare case of MTC that caused hypercalcemia via PTHrP production. Although HHM is uncommon in thyroid cancer, the condition can cause severe hypercalcemia requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. HHM should be considered in patients with thyroid cancer with hypercalcemia, and PTHrP measurement may aid in the diagnosis.

Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2B (MEN 2B) With RET M918T Mutation: Challenges in Long-Term Management and Targeted Therapy. (PubMed, Cureus)
Upon re-evaluation one year later, imaging revealed recurrent paratracheal, pulmonary, hepatic, and possible adrenal metastases, prompting re-initiation of selpercatinib at a reduced dose, which she tolerated and continues to this day with surveillance of symptoms, serial electrocardiograms, laboratory work, and imaging. This case illustrates the aggressive course of RET M918T-mutated MEN2B and underscores the importance of early genetic diagnosis, vigilant surveillance, and continuity of selective RET inhibitor therapy to optimize disease control.

Discovery of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives as potent RET inhibitors for the treatment of human thyroid and lung Cancer. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem Lett)
In addition, 9 exhibited remarkable antitumor activity at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day, indicating that it completely hindered the growth of tumors induced by BAF3-KIF3B-RET-WT xenografts. In summary, 9 can be demonstrated to act as a potential RET inhibitor, as well as a treatment for RET-related cancers.

These findings identify age- and treatment-specific signaling dependencies extending beyond canonical KRAS alterations and reinforce a precision oncology framework in PDAC. Conversational AI enabled rapid, multidimensional integration of clinical and genomic data, facilitating the identification of clinically meaningful pathway architectures.

Familial medullary thyroid carcinoma secondary to an SLC30A9 intragenic deletion and translation reinitiation. (PubMed, medRxiv)
These proteins showed increased stability and their expression in an MTC cell line increased cell proliferation and clonogenic capacity, supporting an oncogenic role. These findings expand the genetic background of fMTC beyond RET mutations and implicate translation reinitiation in the etiology of cancer susceptibility syndromes secondary to structural genomic variants.
