Abstract excerpt
Brain metastases (BM) are frequent and carry a dismal prognosis. BRAF V600E mutations are found in a broad range of tumor types and specific inhibitors targeting BRAF V600E protein exist. We analyzed tumoral BRAF V600E-mutant protein expression using the novel mutation-specific antibody VE1 in a series of 1,120 tumor specimens (885 BM, 157 primary tumors, 78 extra-cranial metastases) of 874 BM patients. In 85...
