Convergent Therapeutic Strategies to Overcome the Heterogeneity of Acquired Resistance in BRAF V600E Colorectal Cancer
8 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Clonal heterogeneity associated with acquired resistance presents a critical therapeutic challenge. Whole-exome sequencing of paired tumor biopsies and targeted sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from patients with BRAFV600E colorectal cancer receiving BRAF inhibitor combinations identified 14 distinct alterations in MAPK pathway components driving acquired resistance, with as many as eight alterations...
