    Title:

    TERT Expression Induces Resistance to BRAF and MEK Inhibitors in BRAF-Mutated Melanoma In Vitro

    Published date:

    Excerpt:
    In this cohort, 45 patients received a combination of BRAF and MEK inhibitors for metastatic BRAF-mutated melanoma….In patients with the wild-type TERT promoter, the median PFS was 13 months while it was 4.9, 5.3 and 3.9 months in patients with −124C > T, −146C > T and −138/−139CC > TT-mutated TERT promoter, respectively (p = 0.06).
