Brain metastasis constitutes more than half of all brain tumors and develops in 15% to 30% of adult patients with cancer, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. About 98,000 to 170,000 new cases of brain metastasis occur annually. The development of sensitive neuroimaging techniques and improved survival of patients with cancer have resulted in an apparent increase of incidences.
