Abstract excerpt
Purpose: We conducted a pilot study to assess the feasibility and the potential implications of detecting TERT promoter (TERTp)-mutant cell-free tumor-derived DNA (tDNA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma of glioblastoma patients.Experimental Design: Matched CSF and plasma samples were collected in 60 patients with glial tumors. The CSF collection was obtained during surgery, before any surgical...
