Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with BRAF V600E-mutated tumors respond to targeted therapy. Testing for BRAF V600E is commonly performed with molecular methods; however, a mutation-specific VE1 antibody clone can provide an alternative testing option using immunohistochemistry (IHC) for practices using single-gene testing and in situations when the specimen is inadequate for molecular...
