Dabrafenib is effective and seemingly safe and well tolerated in our three patients. We observed sustained chemosensitivity even when re-introducing this kinase inhibitor after its discontinuation after 2 years of therapy. These cases indicate the need to re-evaluate the timing and means of Dabrafenib discontinuation in pediatric patients with BRAFV600E mutated gangliogliomas and better assess the future implications of its long-term use.
