Explanation

"NTRK" refers to a group of genes in our body. These genes are like instruction manuals that tell our body how to make certain proteins essential for various bodily functions. In some cases, these genes can undergo changes or "fusions" that may lead to the development of cancer. When a medical report mentions "no fusion genes (eg NTRK)", it means that no such changes were found in the NTRK genes during the testing.
