Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a computational model to better accurately anticipate the emergence of lethal brain tumours. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a type of brain cancer with a one-year survival rate. Because of its extraordinarily dense core, fast growth, and location in the brain, it is tough to cure. Estimating the diffusivity and proliferation rate of these tumours is useful for clinicians, but this information is difficult to estimate for an individual patient fast and accurately.
