Contents: Melanoma -- BRAF and RAS mutated in approximately 70% of cases -- Mouse models of melanoma -- Oncogenic BRAF can be a founder mutation in melanoma -- Mouse models replicate human disease -- BRAF inhibitors induce paradoxical activation of CRAF and drive pathway activation -- Kinase-dead BRAF mimics this and potentiates RAS ooncogenesis -- BRAF inhibitors induce excellent responses in patients, but may induce mechanism-based side effects through CRAF.
