Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting the MAPK–RAS–RAF signaling pathway in cancer therapy

TL;DR: Inhibitors of MEK and particularly of RAF kinases have shown effectiveness in clinical trials with manageable side effects and need to be analyzed for mutations as markers of response to treatments and to avoid paradoxical effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

miRpower: a web-tool to validate survival-associated miRNAs utilizing expression data from 2178 breast cancer patients.

TL;DR: An integrated platform capable to mine all available miRNA data to perform a survival analysis for the identification and validation of prognostic miRNA markers in breast cancer is established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma microRNA 210 levels correlate with sensitivity to trastuzumab and tumor presence in breast cancer patients

TL;DR: The authors of this report hypothesized that altered miR expression levels in plasma are associated with sensitivity to trastuzumab in patients with HER‐2 positive breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/akt and ras/raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway mutations in anaplastic thyroid cancer.

TL;DR: BRAF mutations appear to play a role in the tumorigenesis of a subset of ATCs, and the majority of lymph node metastases, while PIK3CA alterations occur preferentially in the later stages of A TC and were the most relevant events during thyroid cancer progression.
