abstract = {Novel therapeutic targets in malignant glioma patients are
urgently needed. Point mutations of the v-Raf murine sarcoma
viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) gene occur predominantly in
melanoma patients, but may also occur in gliomas. Thus, this
is a target of great interest for this group of patients. In
a nine-year-old male patient, an anaplastic astrocytoma in
the left temporoparietal region was diagnosed
histologically. After first- and second-line treatment, a
malignant progression to a secondary glioblastoma was
observed ten years after the initial diagnosis. Within the
following seven years, all other conventional treatment
options were exhausted. At this time point, recurrent tumor
histology revealed an epithelioid glioblastoma, without a
mutation in the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (IDH
wild-type). In order to identify a potential target for an
experimental salvage therapy, mutational tumor analysis
showed a BRAF V600E mutation. Consecutively, dabrafenib
treatment was initiated. The patient remained clinically
stable, and follow-up magnetic resonance images (MRI) were
consistent with “Stable Disease” according to the
Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Working Group (RANO)
criteria for the following ten months until tumor
progression was detected. The patient died 16 months after
dabrafenib treatment initiation. Particularly in younger
glioma patients as well as in patients with an epithelioid
glioblastoma, screening for a V600E BRAF mutation is
promising since, in these cases, targeted therapy with BRAF
inhibitors seems to be a useful salvage treatment option.},
