Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic and epigenetic profiles are critical in managing brainstem gliomas (BSG), whose heterogeneity is far beyond the realm of the Diffuse midline glioma, H3K27 altered. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based liquid biopsy provides minimally-invasive strategies to acquire molecular information for brain tumors, whereas there is a deficiency in techniques for co-detection of...
