Abstract
Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentration is lower in glioblastoma (GBM) compared to other solid tumors, which can lead to low circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection. In this study, we investigated the relationship between multimodality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathologic features with plasma cfDNA concentration and ctDNA detection in patients with treatment-naive GBM. We analyzed plasma cfDNA concentration, MRI scans, and tumor histopathology from 42 adult patients with newly diagnosed GBM. Linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship of plasma cfDNA concentration before surgery to imaging and histopathologic characteristics. In a subset of patients, imaging and histopathologic metrics were also compared between patients with and without a detected tumor somatic mutation. Tumor volume with elevated (>1.5 times contralateral white matter) rate transfer constant (K ep, a surrogate of blood-brain barrier [BBB] permeability) was independently associated with plasma cfDNA concentration (P = .001). Histopathologic characteristics independently associated with plasma cfDNA concentration included CD68+ macrophage density (P = .01) and size of tumor vessels (P = .01). Patients with higher (grade ≥3...Continue Reading
