Abstract
Approximately 50% of melanomas contain BRAF mutations; the effects on survival are unclear. We aimed to determine whether mutant BRAF expression in melanoma differs according to age, sex, and melanoma-specific survival. A total of 638 patients who resided in Olmsted County, Minnesota, with a first lifetime diagnosis of melanoma between 1970 and 2009 were identified from the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP). Available tissue was analyzed for a BRAF V600E mutation with immunohistochemistry.
