Post-surgical management of low grade gangliogliomas is controversial with paucity of data for the use of chemotherapy. BRAF mutations are present in a number of glioma subtypes and offer an opportunity for treatment with targeted therapy.
A 32-year-old man with an unresectable, BRAF V600E mutant, WHO grade 1 ganglioglioma is commenced on combination BRAF and MEK inhibition (vemurafenib and cobimetinib). Partial radiological and clinical response was noted after 13 weeks of treatment. Treatment complication with grade 2 skin and liver toxicity was resolved with dose interruption and reduction.
Combination BRAF and MEK inhibition present a safe and feasible treatment strategy in unresectable BRAF V600E mutant low grade ganglioglioma.
低级别神经节细胞瘤的术后管理存在争议,缺乏化疗使用的数据。BRAF 突变存在于许多神经胶质瘤亚型中,为靶向治疗提供了机会。
一名 32 岁男性患有不可切除的、BRAF V600E 突变型、WHO 分级 1 级神经节细胞瘤,开始接受 BRAF 和 MEK 抑制(vemurafenib 和 cobimetinib)联合治疗。治疗 13 周后,观察到部分影像学和临床反应。治疗并发症为 2 级皮肤和肝脏毒性,通过剂量中断和减少得到解决。
不可切除的 BRAF V600E 突变型低级别神经节细胞瘤中,联合 BRAF 和 MEK 抑制是一种安全可行的治疗策略。
