    GlossaryBRAF inhibitors

    drugs that block mutated BRAF protein to treat cancer

    BRAF inhibitors are a class of drugs designed to block the activity of the BRAF protein, which is involved in sending signals inside cells and can contribute to cancer growth when mutated. These inhibitors are particularly used in treating certain types of melanoma and other cancers with specific BRAF mutations, helping to slow down or stop the progression of the disease.
