Summary
A new AI system called Hetairos can classify 102 brain tumor subtypes from standard H&E tissue slides in minutes, compared to the current process that takes days or weeks and requires specialized molecular testing. The system reads routine stained tissue sections that are already standard in pathology labs worldwide, potentially making advanced brain tumor diagnosis accessible even in regions without specialized testing infrastructure. This could significantly speed up treatment decisions for brain cancer patients.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledUnder the microscope, many look alike at first glance. However, small molecular differences can separate a relatively manageable disease from one that demands urgent, aggressive treatment.
Getting that distinction right often depends on specialized testing that can take days and costs hundreds of euros.
Unfortunately, this kind of testing is still out of reach in many parts of the world.
The system, called Hetairos, was designed to read routine hematoxylin and eosin, or H&E, tissue sections.
