Metastatic Brain Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is advisable to seek specialized care immediately for new neurological symptoms: a metastatic brain tumor is a cancerous growth in the brain that originates from cells coming from a cancer located elsewhere in the body.
What it is: Tumor cells travel from their original site to the brain, where they form one or more growths that can affect different functions depending on their location.
Common symptoms: Persistent headaches, nausea, changes in vision or speech, weakness on one side of the body, memory disturbances, or seizures.
Which specialist treats it? The oncologist coordinates the cancer management, the neurosurgeon and the neurologist evaluate the brain involvement, and in children the pediatric oncologist. When neurological symptoms appear or worsen, seeking care promptly from a professional is essential for a thorough evaluation.
