Clinical Benefit from Trametinib in a Patient with Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma with a GNAS R201H Mutation

We report the case of a patient with appendiceal adenocarcinoma with mucinous peritoneal carcinomatosis who was treated with trametinib upon identification of a GNAS R201H mutation by comprehensive genomic profiling. The molecular pathology of appendiceal neoplasms is reviewed, and the mechanistic b...
