Abstract excerpt
To determine the role of BRAFV600E mutation and MAPK signaling as well as the effects of BRAF and MEK directed therapy in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (GEP-NEN), with a focus on highly aggressive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP-NEC). Using Sanger sequencing of BRAF exon 15 we determined the frequency of BRAFV600E mutations in 71 primary GEP-NENs. MEK phosphorylation was...
