Study discovers new method of classifying low-grade brain tumors

(University Hospitals Case Medical Center) Scientists and physicians from federally designated cancer centers used molecular and genetic analysis to develop a new method of classifying brain tumors known as low and intermediate grade gliomas. The approach reduces the role of individual observers' assessments of the tumors' appearance. This should improve diagnosis and treatment, and identifies biological targets for future therapies.
