“…Multiple different molecular structures have been identified in the liquids of pediatric brain tumor patients and raised the interest of the scientific field. These biomarkers include circulating tumor cells (CTCs) [ 18 , 19 ], circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) [ 7 , 18 , 19 ], cell-free DNA (cfDNA) [ 6 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], circulating proteins [ 6 , 8 , 19 , 20 ], extracellular vesicles and exosomes [ 5 , 18 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], micro-RNAs (miRNAs) [ 5 , 19 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ], long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) [ 33 ] and other genetic alterations [ 28 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Detection of these biomolecules may offer advantages compared to surgical interventions.…”
