Razelle Kurzrock, Associate Director of Clinical Research for the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center, shared a post on X, about a recent paper by her and colleagues published in Med Journal.
“Our newest perspective.

Bridge the Great Divide!
Prime example. BRAF v600E is found in ~100% of hairy cell leukemia; they all respond to BRAF inhibitors.”
