Current Advance in Targeted Treatment and Immunotherapy for BRAF-mutant Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer / 中国肺癌杂志

ABSTRACT

With the development of precision medicine, therapies of targeting driver genes have significantly prolonged survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Among them, BRAF gene mutation is relatively rare, and the traditional regimen follows the treatment plan of NSCLC without driver gene mutation, which is far from meeting the clinical needs. In recent years, targeted therapy for NSCLC patients with BRAF V600E mutations has shown good efficacy when we are still exploring the better targeted therapies for other BRAF-mutated subtypes. Immunotherapy also showed positive antitumor activity in V600E and non-V600E subtypes of BRAF-mutated NSCLC. This article reviewed the progress of immunological and targeted therapy for patients with BRAF-mutated NSCLC.
