Cerebrospinal Fluid Cell-Free DNA-Based Detection of High Level of Genomic Instability Is Associated With Poor Prognosis in NSCLC Patients With Leptomeningeal Metastases

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) commonly occurs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and has a poor prognosis. Due to limited access to leptomeningeal lesions, the genetic characteristics of LM have not been explored to date. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be the most representative liquid biopsy medium to obtain genomic information from LM in NSCLC. Methods: CSF biopsies and matched...
