Key Takeaways
- Mayo Clinic studied cerebrospinal-fluid DNA analysis in 76 difficult brain and spinal tumor cases.
- Tumor-associated DNA was detected in 20 patients, or 26% of the study group.
- The test may add evidence when MRI is unclear or biopsy is difficult, rather than replace established diagnostics.
