Machine learning-driven molecular classification of pediatric brain tumors

Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in childhood and are generally categorized as low-grade or high-grade. More granularly however, there can be over 100 types of brain tumors which can vary widely in both prognosis and treatment. Machine learning has increasingly been applied to classify brain tumors and other cancer types but […]
