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]
- Intracerebral metastases are estimated to account for approximately 25-50% of intracranial tumors in hospitalised patients.[2]
- 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.[3]
Incidence
- The incidence of intracerebral metastases is estimated to be 200,000 cases annually in the United States.[4]
Age
- The incidence of intracerebral metastases increases with age. The peak incidence occurs in patients over 65 years of age.[5]
Gender
- Intracerebral metastases affect men and women equally.[5]
