“…Molecularly targeted therapy research is focused on BRAF mutations, as 63% to 82% of AM patients and 38% of AMCa patients have BRAF V600E mutations ( 9 , 20 – 24 ).And most of them are located in the mandible and are sensitive to targeted drugs such as vemurafenib. BRAF-V600E mutations have also been found to be associated with aggressive behavior in AMCa, which can be accurately diagnosed by immunohistochemistry, which can be used to assess prognosis and select treatment ( 12 , 15 , 24 – 27 ). A small number of studies have found that SMO-mutated AM are predominantly located in the maxilla, however, more clinical studies are needed to overcome resistance to targeted drugs and reduce adverse effects ( 12 , 24 , 28 ).…”
