Background: Liquid biopsy represents a major development in cancer research, with significant translational potential. Similarly, the integration of multiple molecular platforms has yielded novel insights into disease biology and heterogeneity. We hypothesise that applying contemporary multi-omic approaches to liquid biopsies will improve the power of current models. Methods: We have compiled a cohort of 51 patients with glioblastoma, brain metastasis, and primary CNS lymphoma who underwent CSF sampling as part of clinical care. Cell free methylated DNA and shotgun proteomic profiling was obtained from the CSF of each patient and used to build tumour-specific classifiers. Integrated classifiers were compared with single platform classifiers using multiple approaches. Results: In this study, we show that the DNA methylation and protein profiles of cerebrospinal fluid can be combined to fully discriminate lymphomas from their major diagnostic counterparts with perfect AUCs of 1 (95% confidence interval 1-1) and 100% specificity. Each integrated lymphoma classifier significantly outperforms single-platform classifiers, suggesting synergistic biology is obtained using multiple molecular platforms. Conclusions: We present the most specific and accurate CNS lymphoma classifier to date by integrating the methylome and proteome of CSF. This has important implications for the future of cancer diagnostics and generates immediate utility for patients with CNS lymphoma.
