Cell-free DNA ultra-low-pass whole genome sequencing to distinguish malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) from its benign precursor lesion: a cross-sectional study
2021-04-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The leading cause of mortality for patients with the Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome is development of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma. In the setting of NF1, this cancer type frequently arises from within its common and benign precursor, plexiform neurofibroma (PN). Transformation from PN to MPNST is challenging...
