Abstract excerpt
Mutated BRAF and NRAS are suspected to contribute to melanomagenesis by activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). To test this notion, we analyzed the presence of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in 170 melanomas with established NRAS/BRAF mutational status and well-documented clinical foll...
