Metastatic Brain Tumor
A metastatic brain tumor is a growth that forms in the brain from cells that have traveled from a cancer originally located in another organ of the body.
What sets it apart: Unlike tumors that arise in the brain itself, this one originates in another part of the body and reaches the nervous system through the bloodstream.
Possible manifestations: It can cause headaches, changes in behavior or memory, vision problems, seizures, or weakness on one side of the body.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon and the oncologist are the ones who evaluate this type of lesion in a coordinated way. When new neurological symptoms appear, especially with a history of cancer, a timely medical evaluation is advisable.
