Research from the Brain Tumor Group Featured on the Cover of Neuro-Oncology
A research article by Sachi Maeda, Fumiharu Ooka, and Ryuta Saito from the Brain Tumor Group has been selected as the cover article of Neuro-Oncology, one of the leading international journals in the field of neuro-oncology.
Article title:
Rapid intraoperative genetic analysis of adult-type diffuse gliomas using a microfluidic real-time polymerase chain reaction device
In this study, the authors reported a method that enables rapid intraoperative genetic analysis of adult-type diffuse gliomas in approximately 25 minutes using a microfluidic real-time PCR device.
This technology makes it possible to obtain molecular information during surgery, which is expected to contribute to more precise surgical decision-making and improved treatment strategies.
