Treatable Metastatic Brain Tumor
A metastatic brain tumor is a malignant cancer that begins somewhere else in the body and spreads to the brain or spinal cord. They most commonly metastasize from the lungs, breasts, colon or kidneys. One of the most common brain tumors, symptoms can include chronic headaches, speech problems, lack of coordination and behavior or memory problems. While brain metastasis isn't curable, it's treatable and can be managed so patients can maintain a high quality of life. Adults older than 65 are at greatest risk.
The AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network is a state-of-the art facility for anyone affected by brain metastasis. We specialize in minimally invasive treatments that use laser technology to remove tumors or reduce their size. These advanced techniques can minimize damage to surrounding tissue with less scarring and pain, and a quicker recovery. Minimally invasive surgery may be an effective option for patients with brain tumors that are unresponsive to traditional therapies or surgery.
