Article Title:	Radiogenomic evaluation of lung cancer — Are there imaging characteristics associated with lung adenocarcinomas harboring BRAF mutations?
Abstract:	Introduction We studied computed tomography (CT) features associated with BRAF mutated lung cancer. Materials and methods CT features of BRAF mutated lung cancers were compared to stage matched lesions without BRAF mutation. Results 47 (25%) patients with BRAF mutation and 141 (75%) without BRAF mutation were included. BRAF lesions were most frequently solid 37 (84%), spiculated 22 (50%), and peripheral 37 (84%). No feature of the primary tumor was significantly different between BRAF and non-BRAF groups. BRAF patients were more likely than KRAS patients to have pleural metastases [5 (11%) vs 0 (0%), p = 0.045]. Conclusion No feature of the primary tumor differentiates BRAF lesions from non-BRAF lesions. © 2016
