PTEN Loss-of-Function Alterations Are Associated With Intrinsic Resistance to BRAF Inhibitors in Metastatic Melanoma
7 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Purpose The clinical use of BRAF inhibitors in patients with melanoma is limited by intrinsic and acquired resistance. We asked whether next-generation sequencing of pretreatment tumors could identify coaltered genes that predict for intrinsic resistance to BRAF inhibitor therapy in patients with melanoma as a prelude to rational combination strategies. Patients and Methods We analyzed 66 tumors from patients...
