Release of ctDNA from tumor cells occurs upon cell death as well as being secreted from tumor cells. ctDNA that enters CSF can then be collected from a ventricular access device or at lumbar puncture. Following DNA extraction, and further processing, specific mutations can be detected using non-NGS approaches or broader mutational profiles using NGS assays. Created with BioRender.com.
