Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Intracerebral metastases are the most common intracranial tumors in adults, occurring in up to 30% of adult cancer patients.[1]
- Upto 20–40% of patients with adult systemic malignancies will develop intracerebral metastases in the course of their disease; about 10–20% will be symptomatic.[2]
Incidence
- The incidence of intracerebral metastases is estimated to be 200,000 cases annually in the United States.[3]
