Remarkable response of BRAFV600E-mutated metastatic pancreatic cancer to BRAF/MEK inhibition: a case report
9 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has very limited treatment options due to few targetable mutations, and chemotherapeutic treatment is currently the mainstay of palliative therapy for PDAC patients. Somatic point mutations in the BRAF gene (mostly V600E) are present in many tumors, especially in malignant melanomas, with a mutation rate of ∼66% [1]. On the other hand, the BRAF mutation has rarely...
