BRAF

甲状腺癌的BRAF基因检测

或可疑恶性患者的术后病理发现，仅20%~25%为甲状腺癌，而另75%~80%的患者则接受了不必要的甲状腺手术[3]。因此，如何正确处理这些FNAB无法确诊的病例，是目前面临的最大困难和挑战。 BRAF V600E是一个突出的PTC癌基因，占BRAF基因突变的80%，BRAF基因突变对PTC具有较好的特异性，BRAF突变阳性,几乎就可以确诊为PTC。因此，BRAF V600E对于乳头状甲状腺瘤来说是一种重要的诊断标记物，可以指导医师为细胞学诊断不能确诊的患者选择最佳的治疗方案。 表

Detecting Mechanisms of Acquired BRAF Inhibitor Resistance in Melanoma

V600 BRAF mutation was identified as an ideal target for clinical therapy due to its indispensable roles in supporting melanoma initiation and progression. Despite the fact that BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) can elicit anti-tumor responses

Assaying for BRAF V600E in Tissue and Blood in Melanoma

The BrafV600E mutation has been detected in patients with metastatic melanoma, colon, thyroid, and other cancers. Studies suggested that tumors with this mutation are especially sensitive to BRAF inhibitors-hence the need to reliably
