Focal adhesion kinase promotes metastasis in BRAF-mutant melanoma

Karly A. Stanley, MiKaela N. Field, Adriene Pavek…·Sheri L. Holmen

This study shows FAK promotes metastasis in BRAF-mutant melanoma through kinase-dependent mechanisms downstream of PTEN, suggesting FAK inhibition could improve treatment outcomes.
