Overview
Risk Factors
- The risk of developing intracerebral metastases depends on the type and location of the primary tumor.

- 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
