Abstract excerpt
BRAF(V600E) mutation exerts an essential oncogenic function in many tumors, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Although BRAF(V600E) inhibitors are available, lack of response has been frequently observed. To study the mechanism underlying intrinsic resistance to the mutant BRAF(V600E) selective inhibitor vemurafenib, we established short-term primary cell cultures of human metastatic/recurrent...
