Brain Metastases

Brain metastases are cancer cells that have spread from the original tumor in another part of the body to the brain. They occur when cancer cells travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system and implant in brain tissue. This can cause symptoms like headaches, seizures, or neurological issues. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, aiming to control tumor growth and improve quality of life. Brain metastases are a serious complication of cancer, often indicating advanced disease, and require a team of specialists to plan appropriate care.
