• The term brain cancer in contrast, refers to
cancer that begins in the tissue of the brain.
• Cancer may spread to any parts of the brain.
The most common site of the brain is the
cerebrum, which is the largest and top part of
the brain.
• Less often the cancer spread to cerebellum and
brain stem. sometimes there is only single brain
tumor, but most people develop many brain
metases.

6. Secondary stage
• The lung cancer which spread to the whole parts
of the body finally spreads to the secondary
parts which is called brain.
• It is very common for lung cancer, particularly
small cell lung
cancer(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/what-
is-small-cell-lung-cancer.html), which spread to
the brain.
• when cancer cells break off from the tumor in
the lung, and spread through the bloodstream
or lymphatic system into the brain and begin to
grow

8. Symptoms
• The symptoms of brain metastases vary
depending on which part of the brain is affected.
Other health conditions can cause the same
symptoms as brain metastases.

brain are hair loss, fatigue and memory
problems.

• They include bleeding, swelling of the brain
and seizures.
• Common side effects of many chemotherapy
drugs include low blood cell counts (called
bone marrow suppression), nausea and
vomiting, mouth problems and bowel
problems.

15. • There are no way of knowing exactly how long
someone live with brain metastases.
• Survival with brain metastases is often
measured in months, but some people can
survive for several years.
• Some people may live much longer than
expected, while others may die sooner than
expected.
