Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Somatic B-RAF gene mutation has been identified in many malignancies and detected at a high frequency in cutaneous malignant melanoma. However, the significance of the B-RAF mutation (B-RAFmt) in terms of its prognostic and predictive capabilities for treatment response or disease outcome is not known. We hypothesized that circulating serum B-RAFmt (B-RAFsmt) at V600E, detected in serum, predicts...
