Abstract
Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic disorder marked by infiltration of organs with CD68+ histiocytes. ECD stems from mutations of BRAF and MAP2K1 in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which further differentiate into monocytes and histiocytes. Histopathology reveals lipid-containing histiocytes, which test positive for CD68 and CD133 in immunohistochemistry. Signs and symptoms vary and depend on the organ/s of manifestation. Definitive radiological results associated with ECD include hairy kidney, coated aorta, and cardiac pseudotumor. Treatment options primarily include anti-cytokine therapy and inhibitors of BRAF and MEK signaling.

[PMID: 35413124 PMCID: PMC9355618 DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.mct-21-0950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BRAF plus MEK inhibitor combinations are currently FDA-approved for melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and anaplastic thyroid cancer. The lack of clinical benefit with BRAF inhibition in BRAF V600-mutated colorectal cancer has prevented its tissue-agnostic drug development. We reviewed the AACR GENIE database for the prevalence of BRAF V600 mutations across tumor types. We reviewed the literature for case reports of clinical responses, outcomes in patients with BRAF V600 mutation-positive nonmelanoma malignancies who received BRAF inhibitor therapy, and data from published adult and pediatric trials. BRAF V600 mutations are prevalent across multiple nonmelanoma malignancies (>40 different tumor types), lead to oncogene addiction, and are clinically actionable in a broad range of adult and pediatric nonmelanoma rare malignancies. Continued tissue-agnostic drug development is warranted beyond the current BRAF plus MEK approved cancers.
