Brain tumor test cuts diagnosis time
The National Health Service (NHS) in England has developed a new genetic test aimed at reducing the diagnosis time for brain tumors from weeks to just two hours. The test analyzes the genetic code of a tumor sample to accurately determine the tumor type, allowing for rapid suspicion of whether it is malignant or benign. This enables earlier initiation of treatment and reduces the stress and waiting time for patients and their families. The different types of brain tumors, which range from slow-growing to aggressive cancers, number between 100 and 150 types, with over 12,000 cases diagnosed annually in Britain. Brain tumors are a leading cause of death among children and adults under 40. This technology helps provide more accurate diagnoses quickly, allowing patients to start treatment earlier and enabling more precise surgical decisions during operations. Currently, it is being used initially in five centers, with plans for expansion in the future.
