Abstract

As one of the most prevalent digestive system tumours, colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant threat to global human health. With the emergence of immunotherapy and target therapy, the prognosis for the majority of CRC patients has notably improved. However, the subset of patients with BRAF exon 15 p.V600E mutation (BRAFV600E) has not experienced remarkable benefits from these therapeutic advancements. Hence, researchers have undertaken foundational investigations into the molecular pathology of this specific subtype and clinical effectiveness of diverse therapeutic drug combinations. This review comprehensively summarised the distinctive molecular features and recent clinical research advancements in BRAF-mutant CRC. To explore potential therapeutic targets, this article conducted a systematic review of ongoing clinical trials involving patients with BRAFV600E-mutant CRC.
