Researchers have developed a method that could dramatically shorten the diagnosis timeline for brain tumours from weeks to mere hours, utilizing nanopore technology. This technique allows for immediate genetic sequencing of DNA from tumour samples obtained during surgery. By comparing these sequences to known tumour profiles, doctors can quickly determine tumour types and facilitate timely treatment, such as chemotherapy. This innovation not only enhances the speed of diagnosis but also opens the door to new therapeutic options, significantly impacting patient care in neuro-oncology.
This new method can significantly reduce the waiting time for brain tumour patients, transforming the diagnostic process from weeks into mere hours, thus accelerating potential treatment.
Using advanced nanopore technology, we can analyze DNA samples in real-time, enabling quicker confirmation of brain tumour diagnoses and subsequent treatment plans.
