Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a genetic test that can diagnose brain tumors in as little as two hours .

The new method uses innovative nanopore sequencing technology to analyze tumor DNA and deliver accurate diagnoses during surgery.

In clinical testing across 50 brain tumor operations, the approach achieved a remarkable 100% success rate, providing diagnostic results in under two hours from surgery.

The Nottingham team is now working to roll out the technology across NHS Trusts throughout the UK .

The Brain Tumor Charity , which funds research in this field, sees immense potential in the approach.

Thousands of brain tumor patients each year may soon benefit from dramatically shortened diagnosis times.
