Clinical Activity of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase–Targeted Therapies in Patients With Non–V600 BRAF-Mutant Tumors

TL;DR: This article performed a systematic review and meta-analysis with published reports of individual patients with cancer harboring class 2 or 3 BRAF mutations from 2010 to 2021, to assess treatment outcomes with US Food and Drug Administration-approved MAPK pathway targeted therapy (MAPK TT) according to BRAF class, cancer type, and MAPK TT type.

Hyponatremia and MAP-kinase inhibitors in malignant melanoma: Frequency, pathophysiological aspects and clinical consequences.

TL;DR: The hypothesis is that BRAF/MEK inhibitors lead to hyponatremia and water retention by activating aquaporin 2 (AQP2) trafficking from its intracellular compartment to the luminal cell membrane, and by activating ENaC channel.
