In rare cases, doctors may want to remove a small piece of tumor tissue before diagnosing the cancer. This is called a biopsy. Expected duration of a brain tumor Meningiomas can remain the same size for many years without causing problems. Other types of brain tumors will continue growing unt...
The circulating nucleic acid found in blood and the other biological fluids can be used as a marker for the early diagnosis and treatment of the condition. A 2018 study published by the ‘National Cancer Institute’ onliquid biopsymay reveal whether a child with a type of brain tumor known a...
However, collecting brain tissues is difficult and feasible only after autopsy or surgery, considering that brain biopsy procedures are performed for histopatholog- ical examination of tumors in the diagnosis of cancer5. This could explain the insufficient number of studies in which metallomics has ...

Detecting tumor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of brain tumor patients is challenging, presumably owing to the blood-brain barrier. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) may serve as an alternative "liquid biopsy" of brain tumors by enabling measurement of circulating DNA within CSF to charac...
