BRAF mutations in colorectal cancer portend a poor prognosis, with first-line treatment often involving triplet or quadruplet chemotherapy, and single-agent targeted therapy with BRAF inhibitors failing to demonstrate clinical activity. Blockade of multiple critical nodes along the MAPK and other pathways may be necessary to improve response rates and survival. Cancer Discov; 7(6); 558-60. 2017 AACR..
结直肠癌中的BRAF突变预示着预后不良,一线治疗通常采用三联或四联化疗,而使用BRAF抑制剂的单药靶向治疗未能显示出临床活性。可能需要阻断丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)及其他途径上的多个关键节点,以提高缓解率和生存率。《癌症发现》;7(6);558 - 60。2017年美国癌症研究协会。
