Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (age 18 and over) with a histologically suspected diffuse glioma who have usable H&E whole-slide images and available postoperative molecular pathology results are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients under 18, those without postoperative molecular test results, or those with poor-quality or insufficient pathology slides are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will collect hematoxylin-and-eosin whole-slide pathology images and the corresponding postoperative molecular test results from participating hospitals. An AI model will generate predictions of key glioma molecular alterations from the digital slides. Those AI predictions will be compared directly with standard laboratory molecular testing to measure accuracy and timing. No extra treatments or procedures are required beyond standard clinical care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the AI tool could provide faster and lower-cost molecular diagnoses to help guide glioma treatment decisions.

How similar studies have gone: Retrospective studies have shown encouraging results for predicting some glioma markers from histology, but prospective real-world validation remains limited.
