Abstract
The identification and pharmacological targeting of activating BRAF mutations in melanoma has led to significant improvements in patient outcomes. This perspective paper illustrates the lessons learned from the study of BRAF mutations and the development of BRAF inhibitors. The relevance of these lessons to the development of future targeted therapies is highlighted.Entities:
