A Clinical Rule for Preoperative Prediction of BRAF Mutation Status in Craniopharyngiomas
12 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Papillary craniopharyngiomas are characterized by BRAFV600E mutations. Targeted therapy can elicit a dramatic radiographic regression of these tumors. Therefore, prediction of BRAF mutation status before definitive surgery could enable neoadjuvant treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE: To establish preoperative prediction criteria to identify patients with a BRAF mutant craniopharyngioma. METHODS:...
