Ras Raf MAPK Pathway and Cancer | Mutations, Cancer Pathogenesis, and Chemotherapy

The video discusses the Erk pathway's role in cancer, focusing on mutations in proteins like EGFR, Ras, and RAF that lead to cancer. It reviews the Ras RAF MEK Erk pathway, explaining how mutations cause hyperactivation, leading to various cancers. The video details specific mutations in Ras and RAF proteins and their associated cancers, such as bladder, pancreas, and thyroid cancers. It also covers chemotherapy drugs targeting these pathways, like EGFR and BRAF inhibitors, and concludes with recommendations for further learning.
