Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Complete Hematological Response of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia to BRAF and MEK1/2 Inhibition in a Patient with Concomitant Metastatic Melanoma.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Targeted MEK inhibition is an emerging therapy in a number of solid tumors. It holds particular promise in BRAF V600E mutation-positive malignant melanoma, where constitutive activation and cell growth through the MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway is well established. In vitro and preclinical research indicates that MAPK pathway activation is important in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) leukemogenesis; however,...
