Cohort |
- Percentage of Participants With BRAF V600 Mutation Positivity in Tumor Samples by Cancer Type [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPEs) tumor samples (at least 5 serially-cut, unstained, 5 micrometer [μm] sections) were collected from eligible participants who consented to participate in the study. FFPE tumor samples were either from archived sections (from the initial diagnosis of cancer) or from fresh biopsies that were performed according to local standards. Tumor samples were then sent to a central laboratory to identify activating BRAF V600 mutations. Identification of mutations was done using bidirectional direct Sanger sequencing procedure.
- Number of Participants Classified Based on Different Types of BRAF V600 Mutation Patterns in Tumor Samples [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]FFPEs tumor samples (at least 5 serially-cut, unstained, 5 μm sections) were collected from eligible participants who consented to participate in the study. FFPE tumor samples were either from archived sections (from the initial diagnosis of cancer) or from fresh biopsies that were performed according to local standards. Tumor samples were then sent to a central laboratory to identify activating BRAF V600 mutations. Identification of mutations was done using bidirectional direct Sanger sequencing procedure. V600E, V600K, V600D, and V600R are the different types of BRAF V600 mutations.
