Overview
Risk Factors
The risk of developing intracerebral metastases depends on the type and location of the primary tumor. Primary tumors that are commonly associated with the development of brain metastasis include:
- Lung cancer (most common)
- Breast cancer
- Melanoma
- Gastrointestinal cancer (mainly from colorectal carcinoma)
- Renal cell carcinoma
- Osteosarcoma
- Head and neck cancer
- Neuroblastoma
- Lymphoma (mainly from non-hodgkin lymphoma)
- Prostate cancer
