AOSNP-ADAPTR

Adapting Diagnostic Approaches for Practical Taxonomy in Resource-Restrained Regions

Objectives

  • Build an optimal adaptation of the current WHO CNS5 classification, suitable for routine diagnostic practice in resource-restrained Asian-Oceanian settings.
  • Ultimately benefit all patients with CNS tumors worldwide, especially at centers with resource constraints.

Key Components of ADAPTR Recommendations

RL I

Histology only + special stains

RL II

+ Basic diagnostic IHC markers

RL III

+  Surrogate IHC molecular markers

RL IV

+ Basic molecular tests
(FISH, Sanger, PCR)

RL V

+ Advanced molecular tests
(NGS, DNA methylation profiling)
