BRAF mutations in cutaneous melanoma: no correlation with histological prognostic factors or overall survival Mutações BRAF em melanomas cutâneos: nenhuma correlação com fatores prognósticos e sobrevida global

INTRODUCTION: Molecular biology techniques allow identification of molecular markers such as BRAF and c-Kit gene mutations in melanomas. Studies on genetic alterations in melanomas of South-American patients are sparse. OBJECTIVES: To identify the incidence of BRAF and c-Kit gene mutations in primar...
