| Popis: | The aim of this study is the presentation of brain secondaries associated with colorectal cancer. In the period between 1990 and 2009, 670 patients with colorectal cancer were treated. From 670 patients, 5 patients were identified with brain metastases. The incidence was 0.73%. The median interval between the colorectal cancer and the development of the brain secondaries was 7.5 months. Median survival after the diagnosis of brain metastases was 4.3 months. Brain metastases associated with colorectal cancer are relatively rare, but also a frequent cause of death. |
