Abstract excerpt
Targeted therapies for melanoma and basal cell carcinoma have evolved from deciphering the molecular mechanisms involved in their tumorigenesis. Mutations in BRAF have led to clinical use of BRAF-inhibitors in advanced melanoma, and mutations in Hedgehog signaling to smoothened inhibitors in basal cell carcinoma. The development of tumor resistance to these treatments is leading to many new drug development...
