A groundbreaking new test for brain tumours is set to revolutionize diagnosis times within the NHS, potentially reducing the wait from eight weeks to just two hours. This "gamechanging" development allows for immediate analysis while a patient is still undergoing surgery.
The rapid testing capability is currently being piloted in five NHS centers across England. Experts believe this accelerated diagnostic process will be crucial for patients with aggressive tumours who require swift treatment, offering them a significantly better chance for early intervention and improved outcomes.
