Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 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. Here, we systematically evaluated the feasibility of profiling pediatric brain tumors using ctDNA obtained from...
