AI Tool Decodes Brain Cancer’s Genome During Surgery
https://hms.harvard.edu/news/ai-tool-decodes-brain-cancers-genome-during-surgery
A new AI tool called CHARM has been developed by Harvard Medical School researchers to decode a brain tumor's DNA during surgery, enabling neurosurgeons to make decisions about how much brain tissue to remove and whether to place tumor-killing drugs directly into the brain. The tool can provide real-time guidance to surgeons on the optimal surgical approach for removal of cancerous tissue. The tool is called CHARM (Cryosection Histopathology Assessment and Review Machine) and is freely available to other researchers, but still needs to be clinically validated through testing in real-world settings and cleared by the FDA before deployment in hospitals.
