Prospective detection of mutations in cerebrospinal fluid, pleural effusion, and ascites of advanced cancer patients to guide treatment decisions
17 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Many advanced cases of cancer show central nervous system, pleural, or peritoneal involvement. In this study, we prospectively analyzed if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), pleural effusion (PE), and/or ascites (ASC) can be used to detect driver mutations and guide treatment decisions.
