Molecular Neuro-Oncology

Molecular neuro-oncology is a specialized field that studies brain and nervous system tumors at a biological level, focusing on their genetic and molecular features. By understanding the specific molecules, genes, and pathways involved in these tumors, researchers and doctors can develop more precise diagnoses and personalized treatments. This approach helps identify targeted therapies that attack the tumor's unique characteristics, leading to potentially more effective and less harmful options compared to traditional treatments. Overall, molecular neuro-oncology aims to improve outcomes for patients by using detailed molecular insights to guide therapy decisions.
