Reader Briefing

The Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital has introduced cnsKRAFT, an innovation for the rapid and precise classification of brain cancer and central nervous system tumors.

•Siriraj Faculty of Medicine developed cnsKRAFT using Nanopore sequencing and multi-dimensional molecular data analysis.
•The technology covers gene mutations, Copy Number Variation (CNV), and DNA methylation patterns.
•The service, called CNS Tumor Classification, is currently available at Siriraj Hospital for patients from government and private hospitals nationwide.
•The project involved a partnership with Affinom, a medical product expert with ISO 13485 certification.

Overview

•The Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, developed cnsKRAFT to classify brain cancer and central nervous system tumors.
•cnsKRAFT utilizes Nanopore sequencing and integrated molecular analysis to provide comprehensive data for diagnosis and treatment planning.
•The innovation aims to increase the speed and accuracy of tumor classification and reduce reliance on sending molecular tests abroad.
•The technology is currently applied at Siriraj Hospital under the test name CNS Tumor Classification.
•Siriraj Hospital accepts specimens from government hospitals, private hospitals, and medical institutions across Thailand.
•The development of cnsKRAFT enhances Thailand's potential in molecular cancer analysis and precision medicine.
•There are goals to expand the service network to hospitals and medical institutions both within Thailand and internationally.
