A new test has been developed that reduces the time that occurs for a few hours from the week to diagnose the types of brain tumors, the researchers say.

The surgeons have described the “Ultra-Rapid” method of genetic testing as “game changer” and say it can improve care and treatment for thousands of patients.

This method has been developed by scientists at the University of Nottingham in partnership with doctors at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH).

Research has attracted interest from the entire UK, other NHS hospitals have set their tests along with their current regime to collect more evidence about their effectiveness.

A study published on Wednesday suggests that the method has already been used in 50 operations in NUH and has 100% success rate in the diagnosis of accurate types of tumors.

Currently there are more than 100 identified types of brain tumors, and physicians need to identify what kind of patients have to determine the most effective method for their treatment.

Traditionally, tumor samples are extracted during surgery for taking away from a microscope in a pathology lab under a microscope.

While the process is mostly accurate, it may take up to eight weeks to diagnose the type of tumor.

NUH Advisor Neurosurgeon, Stuart Smith said: “Sometimes once we receive a full diagnosis from the laboratory, we realize that it is a type of tumor that will really benefit that we call every final piece of tumor more radical surgery to remove every final piece of tumor, if it is not done in the first operation.

“Sadly, sometimes it means that a patient has to undergo a second, or sometimes a third operation, to ensure that all the tumors that can be removed surgically have become.”

However, the new technology has reduced the results by 90 minutes, and Mr. Smith said that it was possible to receive a diagnosis, while a patient was still in the operating theater for his original process.

This means that surgeons will be able to perform more radical surgery, if necessary, at that time.

Mr. Smith also said that rapid classification may allow patients to receive radiation treatment or chemotherapy, more quickly, and that early diagnosis often reduces patients of anxiety while waiting for the results of the test.

“This is a game changer,” he said.

Jemma’s daughter Nancy was detected brain tumor at the age of just one in 2023.

Now a two -year -old child had two brain surgery, then high dose chemotherapy treatment to prevent cancer from returning.

Jemma said from Castle Donington at Leesestershire: “Nancy’s first surgery to find out what the tumor was, it was two weeks, and it was two weeks of pure hell and anxiety.

“But to do that it can quickly protect him from that extra brain surgery.”

Nancy is now in discount and has become the face of a national TV advertisement for Young Lives vs. Cancer, a donation that supported the family during his treatment.

Charles Trig, who lives near Market Harberro in Lessesterreshire, revealed one platform four aggressive glioblastoma tumors in April.

He was told that his tumor was a golf ball size.

The 45 -year -old treated by Mr. Smith, said: “Knowledge is power and it can have the worst knowledge, but it gives you certainty, and this certainty really makes life very easy.

“The fact that they have been able to get the data back very quickly that allows a wide team to make a detailed review, looks like a wonderful mix of science and therapy.

“The speed is unprecedented, and it gives you certainty and clarity, even if you like the information, I can’t change the information, but what I can do, the information that is given to me early – and absorb it, feel it and start planning for the next step.”

According to the brain tumor charity, the brain tumor is the largest cancer killer of children and adults under 40.

Charity Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Simon Pneuman said: “The delivery of an accurate diagnosis within hours of surgery will be transformative for all patients who ensure rapid access to the optimal standard of care and – significantly – removing patients with uncertainty when weeks are awaited for their diagnosis and immunity.”

Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, and the Great Ormand Street Children Hospital and King’s College Hospital in London, are now among those who are setting their own tests along with their current procedures.
