    Author: Waldmann KD, Demmler M.
    Journal: Psychiatr Neurol Med Psychol (Leipz); 1987 Feb; 39(2):115-20. PubMed ID: 3588761.
    Abstract:
    The therapeutic effect of Dexamethasone was tested in 45 cases of patients suffering from brain tumors. More than three quarters of the patients experienced a distinct improvement, in particular of the psychic syndrome due to organic disorder, but also in neurological symptoms. This rendered the patients more cooperative, making for more favorable conditions for an operation.
