The paradox of cancer genes in non-malignant conditions: implications for precision medicine. [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing has enabled patient selection for targeted drugs, some of which have shown remarkable efficacy in cancers that have the cognate molecular signatures.

Intra-tumor L-methionine level highly correlates with tumor size in both pancreatic cancer and melanoma patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) nude-mouse models. [PDF]
An excessive requirement for methionine (MET) for growth, termed MET dependence, appears to be a general metabolic defect in cancer. We have previously shown that cancer-cell growth can be selectively arrested by MET restriction such as with recombinant ...

Introduction: There is no consensus on whether immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) would offer comparable benefit in mutant-BRAF NSCLC. We, therefore, conducted a study to ascertain the role of ICIs in mutant-BRAF NSCLC. Methods: Records of 4178 patients

Somatic mutations in solid tumors: a spectrum at the service of diagnostic armamentarium or an indecipherable puzzle? The morphological eyes looking for BRAF and somatic molecular detections on cyto-histological samples [PDF]
This review article deals with the analysis and the detection of the morphological features associated with somatic mutations, mostly BRAF(V600E) mutation, on both cytological and histological samples of carcinomas.

Tumour micro-environment elicits innate resistance to RAF inhibitors through HGF secretion. [PDF]
Drug resistance presents a challenge to the treatment of cancer patients. Many studies have focused on cell-autonomous mechanisms of drug resistance. By contrast, we proposed that the tumour micro-environment confers innate resistance to therapy. Here we

Differential chemosensitivity to antifolate drugs between RAS and BRAF melanoma cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The importance of the genetic background of cancer cells for the individual susceptibility to cancer treatments is increasingly apparent.

Background. In Blacks, malignant melanoma (MM) is associated with greater morbidity and mortality compared to Caucasians. MMs with BRAF V600E mutation as well as those with loss of p16 protein expression are associated with aggressive behavior and worse ...

Sete anos de seguimento de uma paciente jovem com carcinoma papílfero de tireóide e mutação de BRAF e perda de expressão de genes do metabolismo de iodo [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Recent studies reported that BRAF V600E mutation, the most prevalent genetic event found in papillary thyroid carcinoma, is an independent poor prognostic marker.

BRAF overexpression is associated with BRAF V600E mutation in papillary thyroid carcinomas
A common mutation in the BRAF gene, comprising the T1799A nucleotide transversion, which leads to the V600E amino acid substitution in the BRAF protein, has been observed in about 50% of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). However, BRAF protein expression has been rarely examined in such tumors.
