A Biomechanical Model of Tumor-induced Intracranial Pressure and Edema in Brain Tissue (Biophysical Journal)
 


Brain tumor growth and tumor-induced edema result in increased intracranial pressure (ICP), which, in turn, is responsible for conditions as benign as headaches and vomiting, or as severe as seizures, neurological damage, or even death. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that tracking ICP dynamics may offer improved prognostic potential in terms of early detection of brain cancer and better delimitation of the tumor boundary. However, translating such theory into clinical practice remains a challenge, in part, due to an incomplete understanding of how ICP correlates with tumor grade.
