2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive and metastatic form of skin cancer with more than 2500 skin cancer related deaths in 2014 in the UK alone. This type of melanoma has a high prevalence of BRAF mutations (90% BRAFV600E) which causes an overactive MAPK signalling cascade leading to excessive proliferation, survival and enhanced angiogenic potential. Vemurafenib and dabrafenib are BRAFV600E specific kinase in...
