Brain Metastases treatment in Tlalpan

Brain metastases are tumors that form in the brain from cancer cells originating in another part of the body, which travel and settle in the nerve tissue.

Why they occur: some tumors from other organs can spread to the brain through the bloodstream.

Signs that may appear: headache, balance or coordination difficulties, changes in memory or speech and, at times, seizures.

Who takes part? The management involves a multidisciplinary team in which the radiation oncologist and the radiation therapist assess strategies based on radiation. If a person with a history of cancer presents new neurological symptoms, it is important to discuss it as soon as possible with their medical team for a careful evaluation.
