Establishing the pathologic basis of focal brain lesions caused by disease processes such as CNS lymphoma is often difficult. Results of standard MRI-based neuro-imaging are non-specific and cytological testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is highly insensitive. We tested the hypothesis that the metabolic constituents of the CSF reflect pathologic processes within the brain and thus might lead to the identification of novel diagnostic and prog… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
