Abstract:
This prospective biomarker study evaluated serial CSF ctDNA monitoring in newly diagnosed PCNSL treated with R-MO induction therapy. Mid-treatment ctDNA clearance was significantly associated with complete response and superior progression-free survival, showing stronger predictive value than interim PET-CT in this cohort. These findings support CSF ctDNA clearance as a promising molecular biomarker for early response assessment in PCNSL.
