- Metastatic Brain Lesions
Symptoms
Metastatic brain lesions can manifest with various symptoms, including persistent or worsening headaches, neurological deficits such as weakness or numbness in the limbs, seizures, cognitive changes like memory problems or confusion, vision changes, speech or language difficulties, and nausea or vomiting.
Most Common Types
The most common types of metastatic brain lesions originate from primary cancers in other parts of the body, with lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, and renal cell carcinoma being among the most frequent sources of metastasis to the brain. These tumors can spread to the brain through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, leading to the formation of metastatic lesions within the brain tissue

Treatment for Metastatic Brain Lesions
Treatment for metastatic brain lesions using Gamma Knife radiosurgery involves precise targeting of radiation beams to each lesion while sparing surrounding healthy brain tissue. After initial evaluation and treatment planning, patients undergo the Gamma Knife procedure, which delivers focused radiation from multiple angles in a single session. This non-invasive approach does not require general anesthesia and allows for accurate treatment of multiple lesions. Following treatment, patients are monitored closely for treatment response and potential side effects, with supportive care provided as needed to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Gamma Knife radiosurgery offers a safe and effective treatment option for metastatic brain lesions, particularly for patients with multiple or recurrent lesions or those located in critical areas of the brain where traditional surgery may carry higher risks.
