DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201806916
Abstract: The combination of BRAF/MEK‐targeted therapy with immune checkpoint blockade is regarded as a promising regimen for patients with metastatic melanoma due to their complementary advantages. However, MEK‐inhibitor‐induced T‐cell toxicity impedes effective cooperation. In this experiment,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/annonc/mdz238.010
Abstract: Abstract Background Molecular mechanisms driving acquired resistance to anti-EGFR therapies in metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) are complex but generally involve the activation of the downstream RAS-RAF-MEK-MAPK pathway. Methods In order to understand the mechanism underlying… read more here.
