Abstract excerpt
Discordant responses between brain metastases and extracranial tumors can arise from branched tumor evolution, underscoring the importance of profiling mutations to optimize therapy. However, the morbidity of brain biopsies limits their use. We investigated whether cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in CSF could serve as an effective surrogate marker for genomic profiling of intraparenchymal (IP) brain metastases. METHODS:...
