Added text to state that in one review, it was estimated that 12% of mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC) cases occurred in the pediatric population (cited Khalele as reference 8).
Added text to state that MASC is characterized by an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion (cited Skálová et al. as reference 11).
Added text to state that objective responses have been observed in all reported patients with recurrent NTRK fusion–positive MASCs who were treated with entrectinib or larotrectinib (cited 2017 Drilon et al. and 2018 Drilon et al. as references 7 and 8, respectively).
