New AI tool can help treat brain tumors more quickly and accurately, study finds

Machine learning can help with analysis of gliomas, most common brain tumor, and reduce time patients are in operating room

A new artificial intelligence tool could help neurosurgeons treat brain tumors, according to a study released this week by Harvard Medical School.

Neuroscience researchers for decades have struggled to understand gliomas, an umbrella term for the most common brain tumor in cancer patients. One particularly aggressive type of glioma is responsible for the death of Beau Biden and the Arizona senator John McCain.
