Prediction of WHO grade and methylation class of aggressive meningiomas: Extraction of diagnostic information from infrared spectroscopic data.

IR spectroscopy proved capable of extracting information about the malignancy of meningiomas, not only according to the WHO grade, but also for a diagnostic system based on molecular tumor characteristics. In future clinical use, physicians could assess the goodness of the classification by considering classification probabilities and cross-measurement validation. This might enhance the overall accuracy and clinical utility, reinforcing the potential of IR spectroscopy in advancing precision medicine for meningioma characterization.
