Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Vemurafenib is a new inhibitor of the mutated BRAF oncogene. In the presence of mutated BRAF in metastatic melanoma, treatment with vemurafenib leads to a reduction in mortality and in tumour progression when compared with chemotherapy. This study describes nine cases in which endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) was used to assess mediastinal...
