Liquid biopsy guides successful molecular targeted therapy of an inoperable pediatric brainstem neoplasm
Abstract Midline CNS tumors are occasionally inaccessible for surgical biopsies. In these instances, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) may serve as a viable alternative for molecular analysis and identification of targetable mutations. Here, we report a young child with an inoperable brainstem tumor in whom a s...
