ABSTRACT Here, we present a series of five patients with BRAF-mutated non-small cell lung cancer

(NSCLC) from the Moffitt Cancer Center and a brief literature review. Information utilized included outside medical records, imaging studies, pathology reports in which simultaneous mutation testing was performed, and clinic visit notes. In addition, we conducted a literature

search of background information using the following search terms: BRAF mutations, nonsmall cell lung cancer, and driver mutations. Several retrospective studies have been done on

BRAF mutations in patients with NSCLC, which found that the majority occurs in adenocarcinomas and are V600E mutations. From our patients and literature search, we found that BRAF-V600E mutations are shown more predominantly in female smokers with

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 INTRODUCTION Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide, with 85% of these due to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [1-6]. Aside from the more common EGFR and

KRAS mutations found in NSCLC, BRAF mutations occur in
