BRAF and non-small cell lung carcinoma: The v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogenic homolog B1 (BRAF) V600E is a rare mutation that functions as an oncogenic driver in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) leading to the overactivation of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK (MAPK) pathway and the subsequent uncontrolled cell proliferation.
