Abstract Text | We report on the clinical history of a 49-year-old female with metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was initially treated with standard chemotherapy as per current guidelines. She was found to have both a BRAF and P53 mutation, and received dabrafenib and trametinib with deep responses, both radiographically and biochemically (CA19-9). Her response has been more clinically relevant than responses in previous case reports of patients with BRAF-positive pancreatic cancer treated with targeted therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report showing a dramatic therapeutic response to combination therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib in metastatic pancreatic cancer. |
