Summary: Scientists have created an AI tool, called CHARM, that can swiftly identify a brain tumor’s molecular identity during surgery, a process that typically takes days or weeks.
This advance could help neurosurgeons make critical decisions about the extent of tissue removal and possible on-the-spot treatments. The tool still requires clinical validation and FDA approval, but its development represents a significant leap towards real-time precision oncology.
