Overview
Common causes of intracerebral metastases include lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer.[1][2][3] Occasionally, cancer spreads to the brain but the original location of the cancer in the body (primary site) is not known. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP).[4][5]
Causes
- Lung cancer (most common)
- Breast cancer
- Melanoma
- Gastrointestinal cancer (mainly from colorectal carcinoma)
- Renal cell carcinoma
- Osteosarcoma
- Head and neck cancer
- Neuroblastoma
- Lymphoma (mainly from non-hodgkin lymphoma)
- Prostate cancer
- Occasionally, cancer spreads to the brain but the original location of the cancer in the body (primary site) is not known. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP).[4][5]
