Findings:
🧠Response #biomarkers are needed for successful #NeuroOncology #immunotherapy trials
🧠Multiple molecular, cellular & radiologic approaches have shown promise
🧠Validation is needed before these biomarkers can be used to inform clinical trials

This study provides regional insight into the molecular landscape of #meningiomas. It found while routine molecular profiling adds value to classification and prognostication, broader implementation may be limited by cost and panel coverage constraints.

New Genetic Biomarker Flags Aggressive Brain Tumors

A new study suggests that if a tumor shows activity in the TERT gene, it tends to recur more quickly, even if it looks low-grade under the microscope.
