Released Tumor DNA in the CSF for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Pediatric Brain Tumors
The invasive nature of brain tumors points to a need for minimally invasive diagnostic and prognostic strategies. Using samples provided by the Children’s Brain Tumor Network, researchers will assess the usefulness of liquid biopsies in the care of pediatric medulloblastoma.
