Personalized and targeted mutational analysis of multiple second primary melanomas under kinase inhibitors.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the paradoxical mechanism of MAPK pathway for SPMs under BRAF inhibitors. Moreover, they suggest that targeted mutational assessment based on matching somatic and germline analysis represent a promising approach to detect the neoplastic landscape of the tumor and to identify most accurate treatment in metastatic melanoma patient.
