Exacerbation of Kaposi sarcoma following BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy in a melanoma patient: a case report and mechanistic insight.
We present a case of a 75-year-old male patient who experienced a severe exacerbation of his Kaposi sarcoma lesions, which have remained clinically stable for a year, following treatment with BRAF/mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors for his coexisting melanoma. In this case, we present the possibility that BRAF/MEK inhibition may be mechanistically associated with the progression of Kaposi sarcoma and briefly discuss the potential mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
期刊介绍:
Melanoma Research is a well established international forum for the dissemination of new findings relating to melanoma. The aim of the Journal is to promote the level of informational exchange between those engaged in the field. Melanoma Research aims to encourage an informed and balanced view of experimental and clinical research and extend and stimulate communication and exchange of knowledge between investigators with differing areas of expertise. This will foster the development of translational research. The reporting of new clinical results and the effect and toxicity of new therapeutic agents and immunotherapy will be given emphasis by rapid publication of Short Communications. Thus, Melanoma Research seeks to present a coherent and up-to-date account of all aspects of investigations pertinent to melanoma. Consequently the scope of the Journal is broad, embracing the entire range of studies from fundamental and applied research in such subject areas as genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, photobiology, pathology, immunology, and advances in clinical oncology influencing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.
