Belay Summit 2.0 Comprehensive Genomic Profile

Tumor-derived nucleic acid in CSF

  • Next-generation sequencing and low pass whole genome sequencing ​
  • 520 genes (SNVs, MNVs, Indels)​
  • 62 CNVs​
  • 27 Fusions​
  • Chromosome arm level loss/gain​
  • TMB and MSI

Why choose Belay Summit 2.0 Genomic Profile in CSF?​

  • Molecular characterization can markedly enhance diagnostic accuracy, tumor classification, predictive prognosis, and treatment selection1​
  • CNS metastasis can have different molecular profiles than primary tumors with distinct targetable mutations, due to clonal evolution during neoplasm migration2​
  • Genomic abnormalities associated with CNS cancers can be detected prior to performing resections or biopsies that impose clinical risk

Saturday, November 22, 2025 | 7:00am-8:15am 

Applications of Belay Summit™ CSF Liquid Biopsy to Inform & Manage CNS Tumors

In this session, demonstrated results and clinical applications in patient cases from Belay Summit™ 1.0 and Belay Summit™ 2.0 Comprehensive Genomic Profile will be presented. The focus will be on the interrogation of tumor-derived nucleic acids in CSF and their role in diagnosis, classification, disease monitoring, treatment selection, and clinical management for primary and metastatic CNS cancers.
