Abstract
Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) epitomizes the success of cancer prevention by the development of conventional therapy, but huge challenges remain in the therapy of advanced diseases.Case presentation: We reported two cases of novel BRAF gene fusion. The first case was a 34-year-old female with RMS harboring a BRAF-MAD1L1 fusion. She suffered tumor resection, recurrence and rapid progression. The second case was a 72-year-old female with LADC harboring a BRAF-ZC3H7A fusion, and she gained rapid progression after receiving a first-line course of chemotherapy.Conclusions: These two BRAF fusions retain the intact BRAF kinase domain (exon 11-18) and showed poor prognosis in RMS and LADC.
