BRAF-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Current Treatment Status and Future Perspective
V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) kinase, which was encoded by BRAF gene, plays critical roles in cell signaling, growth, and survival. Mutations in BRAF gene will lead to cancer development and progression.

The development of potential targets in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer
The oncogenic driver mutations have been found that not only have potential sensitivity to epidermal growth factor receptor but also can inhibit anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase; more and more interest has been evoked in discovering additional ...

Combination treatment with recombinant methioninase enables temozolomide to arrest a BRAF V600E melanoma in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse model. [PDF]
An excessive requirement for methionine termed methionine dependence, appears to be a general metabolic defect in cancer. We have previously shown that cancer-cell growth can be selectively arrested by methionine deprivation such as with recombinant ...

Melanoma BRAF Fusions—Letter [PDF]
We read with interest the article by Hutchinson and colleagues ([1][1]) describing melanomas harboring BRAF fusions and their sensitivity to MEK inhibition. We also have reported recurrent BRAF fusions in melanocytic neoplasms, including melanomas, and would like to comment on some of ...

Serrated lesions of the colon and rectum: Emergent epidemiological data and molecular pathways
In 2010, serrated polyps (SP) of the colon have been included in the WHO classification of digestive tumors. Since then a large corpus of evidence focusing on these lesions are available in the literature.

Targeted Therapy in the Management of Modern Craniopharyngiomas
Background: The proximity of craniopharyngiomas (CPs) to critical neurovascular structures can lead to a host of neurologic and endocrine complications that lead to difficulty with surgical management. In this review, we examine the molecular and genetic
