Abstract

Many potential biomarkers have been proposed for brain tumors, but only few have been translated into actual clinical use yet. Here, the most commonly used biomarkers in adult neurooncology including 1p/19q codeletion status, O6-methylguanine-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status, and v-RAF murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF) V600E mutation status are briefly discussed with a focus on their clinical utility.
