Dabrafenib
Dabrafenib is a medication used to treat certain types of cancer, particularly malignant melanoma (a serious skin cancer) that has a specific mutation in the BRAF gene. By targeting and inhibiting the activity of the mutated BRAF protein, Dabrafenib helps slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells. It is often used in combination with other therapies to enhance its effectiveness. Patients typically take it as a pill, and while it can be effective, it may also cause side effects, which should be monitored by a healthcare professional.
