...Treatment with vemurafenib, a potent and selective Raf inhibitor, reduced the relative risk of mortality by 63% and the risk of death or disease progression by 74% in patients with unresectable, previously untreated stage IIIC/IV BRAF V600E mutation-positive malignant melanoma, compared to standard treatment.(31) Vemurafenib has consequently been approved in America and Europe as individualised therapy for treating patients with BRAF V600E mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic malignant melanoma....
