Molecular Profiling of Sinonasal Olfactory Carcinoma with Lisa Rooper, MD

In this episode, our host and Dr. Lisa Rooper from Johns Hopkins University, on behalf of her group of esteemed coauthors, discuss their recent study on the molecular characteristics of “Olfactory Carcinoma.” Targeted molecular profiling of 23 cases of the rare sinonasal tumor was performed to help clarify their pathogenesis and classification. The authors found recurrent Wnt pathway and ARID1A alterations, suggesting that sinonasal neuroendocrine and epithelial tumors may be best regarded as a histologic and molecular spectrum.
