Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has revealed the unique genetic characteristics of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the research in this area is still very limited. METHODS: Patients with LM from NSCLC (n = 80) were retrospectively analyzed. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in CSF was tested by next-generation sequencing (NGS), with paired extracranial tissue or...
