Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples are increasingly being used for genomic profiling of brain tumors, offering a less invasive alternative to tissue biopsies. CSF samples provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio for detecting tumor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) compared to plasma samples, making them particularly useful for …

A study on the Hologic Genius digital diagnostic system (GDDS) for AI-assisted cervical cytology screening identified technical issues during validation. While most errors were manageable and did not compromise patient safety, the study emphasized the importance of standardized slide preparation and workflow planning for successful implementation. Additionally, a review by the College of American Pathologists found that CAP accreditation frameworks are broadly applicable to machine learning-based methods in molecular oncology testing, providing a robust framework for validation and oversight.
