[Neurosurgical management for metastatic brain tumors in renal cell carcinoma]. / Oligometasztatikus vesesejtes karcinóma idegsebészi ellátásának technikái és indikációi agyi áttétek esetén.

The therapeutic approach to brain metastases has changed significantly in the last 30 years. The development of surgical technique, the use of new MRI techniques, preoperative surgical planning and the administration of intraoperative navigation reduced the risks of surgery and improved the results. In the case of aggressive renal cell carcinomas, we detect brain metastases relatively often, which are difficult to treat, but the improved surgical and radiosurgery techniques can also be used with success. In our report, we present the neurosurgical management of metastatic spreading of renal cell carcinoma to the brain. Modern surgical planning and more precise, tailored approach with modern radiosurgery techniques are able to improve the outcome and prolong survival even in aggressive types of renal cell carcinomas that give rise to brain metastases. In more severe cases and even in the case of multiple brain metastases, cranial surgery can be recommended.
