Abstract excerpt
BRAFV600 mutations occur in multiple nonmelanoma tumors, but no US Food and Drug Administration-approved BRAF-targeted therapies exist for these cancers. BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib was recently found to demonstrate activity across various BRAF-mutated nonmelanoma cancer types. However, most tumors ultimately become resistant to BRAF-targeted monotherapy. To identify whether co-occurring genomic alterations drive...
