Abstract excerpt
Background: BRAF mutation analysis is important to personalize the management with low-grade gliomas (LGG) in children and adults, with therapeutic and prognostic impacts. In recurrent tumors, targeted therapies such as BRAF inhibitors had been reported to induce disease stabilization and significant radiographic responses. This highlights the potential interest of BRAF mutation to stratify patients for targeted...
