What is Brain Metastasis? 

Brain Metastasis is found in cancer cells, these are those cancer cells which have further spread to the brain from other organs of the body. By other organs, we mean primary organs in your body, which are affected by the tumor. For example, a patient suffering from cancer of the lung can be prone to brain cancer (through Brain Metastasis). The cancer cells in the lung tissue can break down from original mass, and spread through the body to the brain. Growth in brain tumor cases (which are malignant) has been on the rise worldwide.

Statistically, there are more than 500 new cases diagnosed every day.

Brain metastasis is sometimes called secondary brain cancer or a metastatic brain tumor. Brain metastasis is not the same as cancer that starts in the brain (called primary brain cancer). Brain metastasis is much more common than primary brain cancer.
