BRAF mutations are rare in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), occurring in about 1-5% of cases. However, they are most common in lung adenocarcinoma, a specific type of NSCLC. The most common BRAF mutation is V600E, found in more than 50% of cases with a BRAF mutation. V600E BRAF mutation is also the most common BRAF mutation in melanoma, a type of skin cancer. In melanoma, V600E BRAF mutation is associated with a significant dependency on MEK activity. This means cells with V600E BRAF mutation depend highly on the MEK protein to grow and survive. This provides a rational therapeutic strategy for V600E BRAF-mutant melanoma, as drugs that block MEK activity can effectively kill these cells. In lung adenocarcinoma, the frequency of V600E BRAF mutation is lower, at 1.5-2.8%. However, growing evidence shows that BRAF inhibitors, such as vemurafenib and dabrafenib, can effectively treat lung adenocarcinoma with V600E BRAF mutation. BRAF mutations are rare in NSCLC but are most common in lu...

 BRAF mutations are rare in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); BRAF mutations are most commonly identified in lung adenocarcinoma. BRAFV600E is consistently described as the most common variant identified, present in more than 50% of cases with a BRAF mutation. ·        The BRAF Val600Glu (V600E) mutation constitutes more than 90% of mutations in melanoma. V600E BRAF mutation shows a great dependency on MEK activity and offers a rational therapeutic strategy for this genetically defined tumor subtype. ·        The use of vemurafenib and dabrafenib, agents that block MAPK signaling in patients with melanoma and the BRAF V600E mutation, has been associated with prolonged survival and progression-free survival. The frequency of V600E BRAF mutation in lung adenocarcinoma is 1.5% to 2.8%.
