A member asked:
Does prednisone respond to brain tumor symptoms even if there's no raised intracranial pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Prednisone descreases the swelling in the tissues surrounding the tumor and increases appetite, often suppressed in cancer patients. http://www.abta.org/brain-tumor-treatment/treatments/steroids.html
