Presence of PML-RAR-α

clinical outcome

following arsenic trioxide

treatment.

Presence of the substitution

mutations in the BRAF

gene predicts and

indicates clinical outcome

following the BRAFinhibitor

therapies such as

vemurafenib, dabrafenib,

and trametinib.

Arsenic trioxide induces PML-RAR-α degradation.

Diagnostic testing of PML-RAR-α is required for

treatment with arsenic trioxide.

Used for remission induction and consolidation in

patients with relapsed or refractory APL characterized

by PML-RAR-α expression. 45

Recommends genetic testing for metastatic melanoma

to detect the presence of BRAF mutation to consider

whether or not BRAF inhibitors are valid therapy

options.
