Impact of MAPK Pathway Activation in BRAFV600 Melanoma on T Cell and Dendritic Cell Function
Constitutive upregulation of the MAPK pathway by a BRAFV600 mutation occurs in about half of melanomas. This leads to increased oncogenic properties such as tumor cell invasion, metastatic potential, and resistance to apoptosis. Blockade of the MAPK pathway with highly specific kinase inhibitors ind...
