Expert Video - How do doctors treat lung cancer with BRAF mutations?
Medical oncologist Dr. Naomi Fujioka shares an overview of how doctors treat BRAF-mutated lung cancer. She discusses targeted therapies for V600E mutated lung cancers, including the combination of trametinib and dabrafenib, and the combination of binimetinib and encorafenib. Immunotherapy can also be a good choice for people with BRAF non-V600E mutations. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment options for your specific lung cancer and consider participating in clinical trials.
