- W1570257542 abstract "Metastasis to the brain is a devastating and common consequence for patients with malignant melanoma. A significant number of patients with melanoma eventually develop brain metastasis at the time of death. Patients are often symptomatic from their lesions and a large percentage of those with neurological deficits eventually die from the brain metastasis. Diagnosis does not typically occur until late in the disease course, which can preclude many treatment options. Additionally, rapid progression of the disease state and worsening health status magnifies the difficulties of treatment. Currently, contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remain the main diagnostic modalities. Confirmation is usually achieved with surgical biopsy or resection. After diagnosis, treatment options are somewhat limited surgical management, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are most commonly used either alone or in combination. This chapter provides a description of the common presenting symptoms, diagnostic modalities, and treatment options for patients with metastatic melanoma to the brain. This chapter will also discuss emerging technologies which may have notable impacts on the future of disease management. Ultimately, prompt diagnosis and treatment for patients with brain metastases may have important implications for the duration and quality of life of these patients." @default.
