Abstract excerpt
Although BRAF inhibition has demonstrated activity in BRAFV600 -mutated brain tumors, ultimately these cancers grow resistant to BRAF inhibitor monotherapy. Parallel activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-mammalian target of rapamycin pathway has been implicated as a mechanism of primary and secondary resistance to BRAF inhibition. Moreover, it has been shown specifically that mTOR signaling activation...
