Abstract excerpt
BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) have transformed the treatment of BRAF mutant melanoma, but inherent and acquired resistance remains a major barrier to curative outcomes. Resistance arises from interconnected mechanisms: genetic alterations reactivating the MAPK pathway or bypass cascades (e.g., PI3K/AKT/RTK), epigenetic modulation, metabolic reprogramming, and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling. Despite...
