Plasma-derived cell-free DNA methylomes might not enable detection and discrimination of intracranial tumors

Show abstract
Intracranial tumors are both hard to detect and diagnose, resulting in poor patient outcomes. For that reason, non-invasive methods enabling detection and discrimination of intracranial tumors have significant clinical potential. Recently Nassiri et al. propose plasma-derived cell-free DNA methylomes as such a method. Here I show that the results have been misinterpreted, and for many comparisons, no evidence supporting the conclusions are actually presented. While my analysis highlights the potential of plasma-derived cell-free DNA methylomes, the evidence provided by Nassiri et al. is simply currently insufficient.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
