Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: BRAF inhibitors improve progression-free and overall survival in patients with metastatic melanoma.

Because BRAF inhibitors are associated with intracranial responses, the authors hypothesized that BRAF inhibitors would improve local control in patients with melanoma who are receiving SRS...
