Overview
Causes
- Lung cancer (most common)

- Breast cancer
- Melanoma
- Gastrointestinal cancer (mainly from colorectal carcinoma)
- Osteosarcoma
- Head and neck cancer
- Neuroblastoma
- Lymphoma (mainly from non-hodgkin lymphoma)
- Prostate cancer
- 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).[4]
