PLA1A expression as a diagnostic marker of BRAF-mutant metastasis in melanoma cancer

Abstract BRAF and NRAS are the most reported mutations associated to melanomagenesis. The lack of accurate diagnostic markers in response to therapeutic treatment in BRAF/NRAS-driven melanomagenesis is one of the main challenges in melanoma personalized therapy. In order to assess the diagnostic val...
