Popis Incidence rate of primary brain tumors and brain metastases counts yearly around 40 patients per 100 000 persons in the world and is still growing. Prognosis and therapy differs between brain tumor types and, therefore, accurate and early diagnosis might improve survival and life quality of patients. However, current diagnostic approaches are limited by localization and tissue heterogeneity of brain tumors. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathes central nervous system (CNS) and thus is supposed to reflect all pathological conditions. From this perspective, CSF looks as ideal source of diagnostic biomarkers of brain tumors. MicroRNAs, short non-coding RNAs involved in the pathogenesis of many cancers including brain tumors, might represent group of new biomarkers. In addition, dysregulated levels of brain tumor specific miRNAs have been already observed also in CSF. Following these facts, analysis of CSF miRNAs in brain tumor patients promises a new diagnostic approach enabling more accurate diagnosis.
