PDTM-10. Use of a Novel, Hand-Held, Electronic Dna Analysis Platform to Quantify Multi-Gene Molecular Response in CSF of Patients With High-Grade Glioma
Abstract:BACKGROUND
For midline tumors, surgical biopsy risks neurological injury. Non-invasive methods for diagnosis and surveillance are greatly needed. Tumors release DNA into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-ctDNA), allowing for potential detection and serial monitoring of tumor-associated genetic mutations by CSF sampling. Current detection platforms are limited by their requirement for assay development for each mutation (digital droplet PCR), or cost and timeliness (Illumina sequencing). We hypothesize… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
