Abstract

Significance: Outcomes for individuals with central nervous system (CNS) malignancies remain abysmal. A major challenge in managing these patients is the lack of reliable biomarkers to monitor tumor dynamics. Consequently, many patients undergo invasive surgical procedures to determine disease status or experience treatment delays when radiographic testing fails to show disease progression. We show here that primary CNS malignancies shed detectable levels of tumor DNA into the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which could serve as a sensitive and exquisitely specific marker for quantifying tumor burden without invasive biopsies. Therefore, assessment of such tumor-derived DNA in the CSF has the potential to improve the management of patients with primary CNS tumors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
