How a new brain tumour test could transform cancer diagnoses | Global News Podcast

A rapid new test for brain tumours can slash the time it takes for an accurate diagnosis from up to eight weeks to two hours. It means surgeons can get results even while they are operating, and patients are spared weeks of uncertainty whilst being able to start their treatment sooner. Health workers have called it "a huge leap forward for patients" that will "completely transform" how brain tumours are diagnosed
