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 ...

Risk Factors for Neck Nodal Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Cancer With BRAF V600E Mutation
BackgroundThe BRAF V600E mutation is the most common genetic variant in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), but the relationship between the BRAF V600E mutation in PTC and cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) remains controversial.ObjectiveTo estimate risk ...

Concurrent MEK targeted therapy prevents MAPK pathway reactivation during BRAFV600E targeted inhibition in a novel syngeneic murine glioma model. [PDF]
Inhibitors of BRAFV600E kinase are currently under investigations in preclinical and clinical studies involving BRAFV600E glioma. Studies demonstrated clinical response to such individualized therapy in the majority of patients whereas in some patients ...

Clinicopathological relevance of BRAF and SMO mutations in Chinese patients with ameloblastoma
Ameloblastomas are benign tumors associated with recurrence and morbidity. Mutations in the V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) and smoothened (SMO) genes have been identified in ameloblastomas.
