Hello! I heard that cancer can also metastasize into the brain. This made me worried because I had suffered from melanoma but managed to get better. However, I know that cancer can come back. Can you please tell me what cancers usually metastases to the brain and what symptoms can one experience when this happens? Thank you
Most cancers that metastasize to the brain are lung, breast, colon, prostate and malignant melanoma. The symptoms that may indicate brain and even spine metastasis are: persistent headache that may be followed by womiting, seizures, vision problems, speech problems, confusion, leg and back weakness, bladder control loss. Do you have regular check ups? I think you should that! Stay alert!
Does cervical cancer metastasize to the brain, causing a spongioblastoma, or are both sites considered primary sites?
