Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid tumor-derived DNA to obviate biopsy of IDH-mutant brainstem glioma in an adult
25 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Adult brainstem gliomas are rare and present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their critical location and limited biopsy feasibility. Molecular profiling of tumor-derived DNA (t-DNA) isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is emerging as a minimally invasive alternative for characterizing these tumors and guiding targeted therapy. A 34-year-old woman with brainstem glioma was treated with a...
