Listen, folks, we’ve got a huge problem with brain cancers, okay? They’re tricky, very tricky. You can’t just get a piece of the brain tumor like it’s nothing – it’s tough, believe me. But we’re doing something incredible here. We’re not just looking at MRIs and guessing. No, no. We’re going way beyond that. We’re taking multiple biopsies during surgery, and we’re matching them with top-notch MRIs. It’s called the ‘Image-Based Mapping of Brain Tumors’ study, and it’s fantastic.
Now, if you’re over 18 and you need brain surgery, you could be part of this. We’re doing all the fancy scans – DSC, DTI, the works. And we’re using the best technology to track where we take samples from. It’s very precise, very advanced.
What we do with these samples, it’s something else. We’re looking at the genes, the RNA – we’re doing it all. And we’re sharing this data, making it public. It’s going to help us create maps, amazing maps, that show where the bad cells are. This is big. It means better surgery, better treatment, and it’s going to make a huge difference for people with glioma.
So, we’re not just talking about ideas here. We’re doing it. And it’s going to be huge for medical decision-making. We’re going to beat this thing, and we’re going to do it with the best science. That’s what we’re doing, and it’s going to be great.
