Molecular Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors in Developing Countries: Challenges, Opportunities, and Feasibility in a Pathology Reference Laboratory

DNA methylation profiling improves diagnostic accuracy and reclassifies a meaningful proportion of brain tumor cases. Broad implementation requires evidence of cost-effectiveness, streamlined workflows, and capacity building, particularly in low- and middle-income settings.

Abstract

DNA methylation profiling improves diagnostic accuracy and reclassifies a meaningful proportion of brain tumor cases. Broad implementation requires evidence of cost-effectiveness, streamlined workflows, and capacity building, particularly in low- and middle-income settings.
