Diagram showing the molecular pathways involved in cancer cell growth. It illustrates RAS activation leading to BRAF activation, which then stimulates MEK and ERK, resulting in increased cell proliferation. The pathway can be inhibited by drugs like Dabrafenib and Trametinib, which delay resistance onset and prolong response. The diagram also highlights alternative pathways involving RTK and COT, which decrease treatment effectiveness. Key points include prolonged responses, delayed resistance, and reduced secondary cancers.
