MEK inhibition appears to improve symptom control in primary NRAS-driven CNS melanoma in children
BACKGROUND: Primary melanoma of the CNS in children is extremely rare, and usually linked to congenital melanocytic naevus syndrome, caused by mosaicism for oncogenic NRAS mutations. Outcome is fatal in all cases. Data from murine and in vitro studies suggest that MEK inhibition is a possible therap...
