Abstract
BRAF inhibition has been an instant, although short-lasting, success in BRAF-mutated melanoma treatment. Novel data by Berger et al. now suggest that BRAF-inhibitor-mediated "priming to death" facilitates tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-mediated apoptosis. We give an overview about the importance of the crosstalk of extrinsic and mitochondrial apoptotic signaling and propose other combination therapies that may prevent or overcome secondary resistance in melanoma.
