Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Imaging with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) -positron emission tomography (PET) allows early recognition of a response to agents that target key driver mutations in human cancer. We aimed to determine the metabolic response rate to vemurafenib in patients with advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Baseline and day 15 FDG-PET was evaluated in 31 patients with advanced melanoma treated in a...
