Targeting BRAF pathway in low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

Mutations in genes encoding for proteins along the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway have been detected in a variety of tumor entities including ovarian carcinomas. In the recent years, several inhibitors of this pathway have been developed, whose antitumor potential is currently being assessed in different clinical trials. Low grade serous ovarian carcinoma, is a rare gynecological tumor which shows favorable overall survival, compared to the general ovarian cancer population, but worrying resistance to conventional chemotherapies. The clinical behavior of low grade serous ovarian carcinoma reflects the different gene profile compared to high-grade serous carcinoma:
