Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in pediatric patients. Though these tumors typically require invasive surgical procedures to diagnose, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) liquid biopsy presents a potential method for rapid and noninvasive detection of markers of CNS malignancy. To characterize molecular biomarkers that can be used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of pediatric cancer patients, a literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. PubMed and EMBASE were searched for the terms biomarkers, liquid biopsy, cerebrospinal fluid, pediatric central nervous system tumor, and their synonyms. Studies including pediatric patients with CSF sampling for tumor evaluation were included. Studies were excluded if they did not have full text or if they were case studies, methodology reports, in languages other than English, or animal studies. Our search revealed 163 articles of which 42 were included. Proteomic, genomic, and small molecule markers associated with CNS tumors were identified for further analysis and development of detection tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
