Abstract excerpt
AIMS: BRAF mutations, especially BRAF V600E, are a frequent occurrence in malignant melanomas. The BRAF inhibitors are used as the care standard for BRAF-mutant metastatic melanomas. However, melanomas rapidly develop resistance to BRAF inhibitors after a median response duration of 6months, and the subsequent rapid development of cutaneous toxicity is enhanced by the paradoxical activation of CRAF. In this...
