AI Tool Enhances Brain Tumor Treatment with Real-Time DNA Decoding

An AI tool called Charm has been developed to assist surgeons in identifying the genetic profile of gliomas, a type of aggressive brain tumor, during surgery. While its accuracy may not match current genetic tests, Charm can swiftly predict a tumor's profile, allowing doctors to proceed with appropriate treatment without the need for additional surgeries. The tool can also distinguish between malignant and benign tumor cells and determine the tumor's grade, potentially eliminating the need for a pathologist during the operation. This advancement in AI technology contributes to the broader use of AI in enhancing cancer diagnosis and treatment.
