Understanding NTRK Fusion-Positive Cancer
NTRK (pronounced “en-track”) is a gene, which is a basic unit of heredity that’s passed down from a parent to a child. The NTRK gene plays a role in the growth and development of nerve cells. In some people, the NTRK gene and another gene fuse, or join together. This NTRK gene fusion causes it to behave abnormally in a way that can cause cancer cells to grow. These types of cancer may sometimes be called NTRK gene fusion positive.
What Types of Cancer Can Be NTRK Fusion-Positive?
NTRK gene fusions are relatively rare, but can be found in several different types of cancer, including:
- Brain cancer
- Colon cancer
- Head and neck
- Lung cancer
- Soft tissue cancer
- Thyroid cancer
Treatment of NTRK Fusion-Positive Cancer: What Are the Options?
The treatment your doctor will prescribe for NTRK fusion-positive cancer will depend on a variety of factors, including which form of cancer you have, whether it has metastasized (or spread), and what treatment you have already received. Treatments for NTRK fusion-positive cancers include:
- Surgery: Surgical removal of cancerous tumors.
- Chemotherapy: A general term for drugs that kill cancer cells and prevent them from spreading.
- Radiation therapy: The use of high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells.
- Targeted therapy: Medications that block or inhibit molecules that cause cancer to grow and spread.
- Immunotherapy: Medications that stimulate the body’s natural defense network, the immune system, to find and destroy cancer cells.
- Clinical trials: Standard treatments don’t work for all patients with NTRK fusion-positive cancers; in other patients, the benefits of these treatments can diminish over time. In these cases, doctors often recommend enrolling in a clinical trial, which is a type of scientific study in which researchers evaluate a new medical therapy.

What Are Clinical Trials?
Cancer is an unfortunate reality that touches most of us at some point in our lives. If you or a loved one has cancer, you may have heard or read that clinical trials could offer access to innovative new treatments. But what exactly is a clinical trial? In this video, Massive Bio co-founder Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, MD, explains how clinical trials work, what to expect if you enroll in one, and why a clinical trial can be an important treatment option for many cancer patients.
We dream of the day when cancer disappears from our lives. Massive Bio is working tirelessly on achieving that goal.
Massive Bio has gone above and beyond to connect my family with the right care during Covid-19. I really appreciate their staff’s consistent and clear outreach during this process.
They have a really responsive and hard-working team. It’s a great way to explore clinical cancer trials and find alternative treatments.
I reached out to Massive Bio after learning of a recent breast cancer diagnosis of a family member. From free expert clinical trial matching to patient advocate support, Massive Bio was able to provide me with the necessary resources and knowledge to provide my family member the support they needed during their cancer journey.
My father used the Virtual Tumor Board to get another treatment recommendation. The report was detailed, and the staff answered all our questions. I definitely recommend their services.
I have recommended this to colleagues for patients that could benefit from clinical trials or have exhausted their treatment options and need a second opinion. Massive Bio’s team puts great minds together to find better solutions for patients that might think they have none left.
Massive Bio’s team is amazing. They work tirelessly to help patients and providers. This company truly cares about the work they are doing and the care they are delivering.
