- W135212696 abstract "Approximately 25% of all cancer patients develop intracranial metastases, of which 40% to 60% are solitary. Most cerebral metastases derive from the lungs and breast. The highest incidence for brain metastases is associated with the malignant melanoma. Cerebral lesions develop as dural, leptomeningeal, and parenchymal metastases. The occurrence of brain metastases is often associated with the terminal stage of the disease and generalized metastasizing. Brain metastases become apparent by neurological symptoms, such as focal deficits, elevated intracranial pressure and epileptic seizures. The diagnosis will be confirmed by cerebral computed tomography. The performance of MRI-scan, however, is mandatory, in order to answer the question of multiple lesions. The treatment of choice is surgery and/or radiotherapy. Solitary lesions have to be operated on, especially when they can be approached easily and the patients' deficits will improve. Even multiple metastases can be approached by surgery. While radioresistant tumors should be operated on, radiosensitive tumors, such as the small-cell lung cancer, might be primarily treated by radiotherapy. Multiple, operatively non-accessible metastases and deeply-located lesions in the brain stem should not be operated on. Stereotactic radiosurgery has to be discussed. The survival time mostly depends on the primary site of the tumor, the extent of the extracerebral metastases and the time interval between the initial diagnosis and the metastasis stage. Surgery plus radiation: The median survival time averages about 10 to 16 months, depending on the primary site of the tumor. Radiotherapy alone achieves a survival time of only 5 months. Surgery plus radiation is most effective in the treatment of cerebral metastases. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy are of limited success." @default.
