Summary
Brain metastases are the most common brain tumors in adults and a significant cause of death. Understanding these tumors is crucial for improving patient outcomes and cancer survival rates.
Area of Science:
- Neuro-oncology
- Cancer research
- Clinical neurology
Background:
- Brain metastases represent the most frequent intracranial neoplasms in adults.
- These tumors are a primary driver of cancer-related mortality and morbidity.
- Effective management strategies for brain metastases are urgently needed.

02:30Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
