Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Symptomatic brain metastases incidence in Denmark is approximately 3500 cases.
  • Review covers etiology, symptomatology, and diagnostic procedures for brain metastases.

Purpose:

  • To review current treatments for brain metastases and their efficacy.
  • To provide a treatment scheme based on metastasis number and patient condition.

Summary:

  • Treatment aims to improve quality of life and prolong survival, not cure.
  • Median survival: 1 month (no treatment), 2 months (steroids), 4-6 months (whole brain irradiation), 10-12 months (surgery/stereotactic radiosurgery).

Impact:
