Raf inhibitors are a class of molecules used in cancer therapy, particularly in treating melanoma and certain other malignancies. These inhibitors target proteins within the MAPK/ERK pathway, primarily Raf kinases. By blocking Raf, these inhibitors disrupt the signaling pathway, which can slow down or halt the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. This precision approach is a valuable weapon in the fight against specific types of cancer.
