Metastatic neoplasms to the brain.

L A French, J I Ausman

    Clinical Neurosurgery
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Metastatic brain tumors require accurate diagnosis using imaging like computerized axial tomography and cerebral angiography. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment for solitary, accessible lesions to improve symptoms and survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Metastatic brain tumors are a significant clinical challenge.
    • Understanding their incidence, pathogenesis, and pathology is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic brain tumors.
    • To discuss the efficacy of current diagnostic techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on metastatic brain tumors.
    • Discussion of diagnostic imaging techniques including computerized axial tomography and cerebral angiography.
    • Evaluation of surgical excision as a treatment modality.

    Main Results:

    • Computerized axial tomography and brain scanning should be confirmed with cerebral angiography for accurate lesion detection.
    • Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for solitary, accessible brain metastases in suitable patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management of brain metastases.
    • Surgical intervention offers palliation, prolonged survival, and potential identification of treatable lesions.
