A paper in Nature Cancer presents an #AI tool that leverages histology to predict methylation-based central nervous system tumor subtypes and validated it for tumor classification, demonstrating high confidence and accuracy across clinical cohorts. go.nature.com/4vJwMaX #medsky 🧪
This is figure 2, which shows the performance of Hetairos in internal validation (n = 1,102 slides).

1/n Excited to share our new paper in Nature Cancer 🦀 Meet Hetairos (Greek- “companion”): an AI model that predicts >100 methylation-defined CNS tumour subtypes directly from a routine H&E slide 🧠 State of the art diagnostics- from the slide that’s already on every pathologists’ desk 🧵

Tissue organization is fundamental to how tissues function - yet in cancer such spatial patterns can progressively break down. Ever wondered how?! Check out our new study, where we investigate how lymphoma reshapes lymph node architecture 👀

Advancing CNS tumor diagnostics with expanded DNA methylation-based classification
Sill and colleagues present an expanded DNA methylation classifier for CNS tumors. Building upon the 2021 WHO classification, this resource introduces a hierarchical taxonomy of 184 subclasses. It enhances classification accuracy for rare entities and provides integrated genomic data from a single, streamlined assay for modern neuro-oncology.
