Novel mutations in a second primary gastric cancer in a patient treated for primary colon cancer.

ABSTRACT: A 60-year-old man presented with complaints of abdominal pain and melena. Patient had a history of colon cancer 16 years back and had undergone right hemi colectomy for microsatellite instability (MSI) negative, mismatch repair (MMR) stable, T2N0 disease with no mutations on next-generation sequencing (NGS). Investigations revealed a second primary in stomach (intestinal type of adenocarcinoma) with no recurrent lesions in colon or distant metastasis. He was started on CapOx with Bevacizumab and developed gastric outlet obstruction. Total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and Roux-en-Y oesophageao-jejunal pouch anastomosis was done. The histopathology showed intestinal type of adenocarcinoma with pT3N2 disease. NGS showed 3 novel mutations in KMT2A, LTK, and MST1R gene. The pathway enric
