  2. Brain metastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_metastasis

    A brain metastasis is a cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the brain from another location in the body and is therefore considered a secondary brain tumor. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The metastasis typically shares a cancer cell type with the original site of the cancer. [ 3 ]

  3. Cancer survival rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_survival_rates

    In males, researchers suggest that the overall reduction in cancer death rates is due in large part to a reduction in tobacco use over the last half century, estimating that the reduction in lung cancer caused by tobacco smoking accounts for about 40% of the overall reduction in cancer death rates in men and is responsible for preventing at least 146,000 lung cancer deaths in men during the ...

    In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [1] Below is an incomplete list of age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancer in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.

  5. Melanoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanoma

    Metastatic melanoma may cause nonspecific paraneoplastic symptoms, including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Metastasis (spread) of early melanoma is possible, but relatively rare; less than a fifth of melanomas diagnosed early become metastatic. Brain metastases are particularly common in patients with metastatic melanoma. [17]

  6. Brain tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_tumor

    Secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors are about four times as common as primary brain tumors, [2] [10] with about half of metastases coming from lung cancer. [2] Primary brain tumors occur in around 250,000 people a year globally, and make up less than 2% of cancers. [3]

  7. Neuro-oncology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-oncology

    Brain metastasis can be single or multiple and involve any portion of the brain. Metastasis to dural structures generally occurs by hematogenous spread or direct invasion from a contiguous bone. Dural metastases can invade the underlying brain and cause focal edema and associated neurologic symptoms.
