6/n Why does it matter??
Hetairos can streamline diagnostics, streamline which cases need molecular testing and most importantly- bring up-to-date subtyping to centres where methylation profiling is simply not available.
It’s about making precision diagnostics accessible to all 🌏
2/n The problem- methylation profiling gives the most granular CNS tumour classification (also recommended by WHO, NCCN, etc), but it’s expensive and takes ~2 weeks
H&E slides are everywhere, fast and cheap, but can’t deliver that detail on their own 🔬
Hetairos bridges that gap 🌉
