ABSTRACT
Metastases are the most common intracranial tumors in adults. Lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and breast cancer are the most common primary tumors that metastasize to the brain. Improved detection of small metastases by MRI, and improved systemic therapy for primary tumors, resulted in increased incidence of brain metastasis. Advances in neuroanesthesia and neurosurgery have significantly improved the safety of surgical resection of brain metastases. Surgical approach and active management have become applicable for many patients. Subsequently, brain metastases diagnosis no longer equals palliative treatment. Moreover, the demand for diagnosing brain masses has increased with its associated challenges.
