The BRAF-V600E genetic mutation offers a potential targeted therapy for the treatment of papillary craniopharyngiomas.
A 35-year-old man underwent a craniotomy and subtotal resection of a large BRAF-V600E-positive papillary craniopharyngioma before referral to our institution. Our treatment included the BRAF-V600 inhibitor dabrafenib mesylate (75 mg, twice/day) and trametinib dimethyl sulfoxide (2 mg/day). The residual tumour decreased in size by 95% over 21 months without negative side effects.
We reviewed the literature on BRAF-V600E inhibition as a non-invasive method of treating papillary craniopharyngiomas harbouring the BRAF-V600E mutation.
BRAF-V600E 基因突变提供了一种针对治疗颅咽管瘤的潜在靶向治疗方法。
一名 35 岁男性在转至我院之前接受了颅咽管瘤的开颅手术和次全切除术,肿瘤呈 BRAF-V600E 阳性。我们的治疗包括 BRAF-V600 抑制剂甲磺酸达拉非尼(75mg,每日两次)和曲美替尼二甲亚砜(2mg,每日一次)。在 21 个月内,残余肿瘤缩小了 95%,没有出现负面副作用。
我们回顾了 BRAF-V600E 抑制作为治疗携带 BRAF-V600E 突变的颅咽管瘤的非侵入性方法的文献。
