It is now known that majority of PLGG have activation MAPK/ERK pathway. The same pathway also activated plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) which involving peripheral nerves patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These lesions Specific MEK inhibitors such as trametinib available and been approved for other cancers harboring mutations...
Abstract Background Childhood cancer survivorship issues represent an established public health challenge. Most late adverse effects (LAEs) have been demonstrated to be time and treatment dependent.
