Quantification of cerebrospinal fluid ferritin as a biomarker for CNS malignant infiltration Quantificação de ferritina no líquido cefalorraquidiano como biomarcador para o diagnóstico de infiltração maligna no SNC

Several markers have been studied for their ability to make the CNS infiltration diagnosis earlier and more precise; previous studies showed that CSF ferritin concentrations were higher in patients with malignant invasion of CNS. The objective was to determine the importance of CSF ferritin as a bio...
