Advancing precision in rare brain tumor care 🔬 Intracranial germ cell tumors (IGCTs) are rare, complex brain tumors that primarily affect adolescents and young adults. Each of the six IGCT subtypes requires a unique treatment plan—making accurate diagnosis essential and traditional biopsies risky. That’s why our pediatric experts at Connecticut Children's Research Institute, in partnership with The Jackson Laboratory, are leading a new global study using spinal fluid (a much safer test) to detect tumor-specific DNA changes. By studying 400 patients worldwide, we aim to give doctors faster, safer, and more accurate ways to diagnose and treat IGCTs—bringing hope to families everywhere. 💙
