    The study aims to objectively measure and characterize the mechanical properties of brain tumors using indentation techniques.

  • 2

    It focuses on glioma, metastasis, and meningioma, comparing their mechanical properties to healthy brain tissue.

  • 3

    Patients over 18 with supratentorial tumors were recruited, ensuring ethical compliance and informed consent.

  • 4

    Mechanical measurements were conducted within five minutes of sample collection to maintain tissue integrity.
