Targeting metabolism by B-raf inhibitors and diclofenac restrains the viability of BRAF-mutated thyroid carcinomas with Hif-1α-mediated glycolytic phenotype.

The identification of a metabolic vulnerability of BRAF-mutated carcinomas and the capacity BRAFi and diclofenac combination to target metabolism open new therapeutic perspectives in maximising drug efficacy and reducing the onset of secondary resistance and drug-related toxicity.
