Metastatic
Brain Tumors
Metastatic brain tumors result from cancer that started
elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasized) to the
brain. Most metastatic brain tumors are from cancers of
the lung or breast, but almost any tumor can spread to
the brain. These malignant (cancerous) brain tumors can
grow rapidly, crowding or destroying nearby brain tissue. |
