Excerpt:
Liver lesions were biopsied and hybrid capture next-generation sequencing was performed which revealed: a BRAF V600E gain of function mutation, CDKN2A loss as well as MYCN amplification. The patient declined further chemotherapy and his treatment was switched to Encorafenib (BRAF inhibitor) plus Binimetinib (MEK inhibitor). He attained a partial response to therapy at his first restaging CT scan after 2 months of therapy (-39% per RECIST 1.1). Both mass at the surgical bed as well as liver metastases were decreased in size. He tolerated treatment very well without significant adverse events.
