Abstract Text Effective treatment options are still scarce for metastatic triple-negative breast cancers. An increasing interest in the mutational landscape of this disease will facilitate novel therapeutic strategies in a variety of cancers. Here we report the case of a 38-year-old female patient who developed multiple lung metastasis of a triple-negative breast cancer 2 years after the completion of local therapy. When she progressed after two palliative chemotherapy lines and local electroporation, a next-generation sequencing revealed a BRAF V600E mutation for which we initiated therapy with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib. Radiological improvement was already evident after 3 months and has been ongoing for 19 months so far with very few side effects, as is demonstrated by electronically captured patient-reported outcomes. To our knowledge, this is the first published case where a BRAF V600E-mutated advanced triple-negative breast cancer was successfully treated with vemurafenib.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
