Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MAPK pathway inhibitors (MAPKi) have shown significant efficacy in treating childhood BRAF-activated brain tumors. For tumors harboring BRAFV600E mutations, the drugs are rarely curative, and patients can become refractory to treatment. MAPKi combining X-radiation therapy (XRT) may improve cure rate, but the development of XRT resistance is a challenge. METHODS: XRT resistance was induced by multiple...
