| Popis: | Brain metastases frequently occur secondary to poorly controlled primary lung, breast, melanoma, colorectal and renal tumours. Because of this, correct diagnosis and early treatment of brain metastasis is difficult, which is why the condition should be treated and controlled by a multidisciplinary medical team so as to obtain real-life and reliable statistics and to lower the incidence of brain metastasis, improving the quality of life of patients and reducing mortality rates. |
