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

  • Common causes of intracerebral metastases include:[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]
