Therapeutic management of neuro-oncologic patients - potential relevance of CSF liquid biopsy. [PDF]
Background: In the era of precision medicine, cancer treatment is increasingly tailored according to tumor-specific genomic alterations. The analysis of tumor-derived circulating nucleic acids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by next generation sequencing (NGS) may facilitate precision medicine in the field of CNS cancer. We therefore evaluated whether NGS

Detection of Glioma-Related Hotspot Mutations Through Sequencing of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)-Derived Circulating Tumor DNA: A Pilot Study on CSF-Based Liquid Biopsy for Primary Spinal Cord Astrocytoma [PDF]
Objective Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-based liquid biopsy was proved to be practical in molecular analysis of intracranial gliomas, liquid biopsy of primary intramedullary astrocytoma was rarely reported.

P16.02.B DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF CSF LIQUID BIOPSY AND MRI FOR LEPTOMENINGEAL METASTASES IN SOLID CANCERS: A META-ANALYSIS [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a life-threatening and quickly advancing complication in patients with solid cancer. Reliable diagnosis is challenging. CSF cytology remains the standard diagnostic test for LM, though the sensitivity has been reportedly at un-satisfactory levels ...

Liquid biopsy detection of genomic alterations in pediatric brain tumors from cell-free DNA in peripheral blood, CSF, and urine [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe ability to identify genetic alterations in cancers is essential for precision medicine; however, surgical approaches to obtain brain tumor tissue are invasive. Profiling circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in liquid biopsies has emerged as a promising approach to avoid invasive procedures.

Establishing the utility of multi-platform liquid biopsy by integrating the CSF methylome and proteome in CNS tumours [PDF]
Liquid biopsy represents a major development in cancer research, with significant translational potential. Similarly, it is increasingly recognized that multi-omic molecular approaches are a powerful avenue through which to understand complex and heterogeneous disease biology. We hypothesize that merging these two promising frontiers of cancer research

METB-05. CSF LIQUID BIOPSY: PAVING THE WAY FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE BRAIN TUMOR SURVEILLANCE USING LOW-PASS WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING [PDF]
Abstract OBJECTIVE We describe a clinical liquid biopsy platform for disease detection and surveillance in pediatric patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors using low-pass whole genome sequencing (LP-WGS) on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Tapping into the genome: the role of CSF ctDNA liquid biopsy in glioma [PDF]
Abstract Liquid biopsy has emerged as a novel noninvasive tool in cancer diagnostics. While significant strides have been made in other malignancies using liquid biopsy for diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment selection, development of these assays has been more challenging for brain tumors.

Central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) is a devastating disease with a poor prognosis. Early diagnosis, monitoring of the treatment response, and outcome prediction carry the utmost importance in the management of patients with CNSL. Surgical biopsy is the gold standard for tissue diagnosis, however, this procedure has potential complications ...
