Overview
Causes
- Lung cancer (most common)
- Renal cell carcinoma
- Breast cancer
- Melanoma
- Gastrointestinal cancer (most commonly from colorectal carcinoma)
- Osteosarcoma
- Head and neck cancer
- Neuroblastoma
- Lymphoma
- Occasionally, cancer spreads to the brain, but the original location of the cancer in the body (primary site) is not known. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP).[3]
