[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC9338780
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic, Prognostic
Justification: Predictive: The text discusses the approval of dabrafenib plus trametinib for treatment of BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, indicating that the presence of the V600E mutation predicts a positive response to this therapy. Oncogenic: The BRAF V600E mutation is implicated in the pathogenesis of anaplastic thyroid cancer, suggesting its role as an oncogenic driver in this disease. Prognostic: The updated results indicate that patients with BRAF V600E-mutant ATC experienced improved long-term survival with the treatment, suggesting that the mutation may serve as a prognostic marker for treatment outcomes.
