Diagram showing molecular pathways involved in cancer cell growth and resistance. It includes the RAS and BRAF proteins, with Dabrafenib inhibiting BRAF, leading to prolonged response. MEK and ERK are also involved, with Trametinib delaying resistance. The diagram highlights paradoxical activation and alternative pathways, with RTK and COT contributing to decreased cancer recurrence.
