Abstract:
What's new? Brain metastases occur in around 5% of patients with colorectal cancer. These are generally not diagnosed until symptoms arise, and usually after other metastases have been found. Here, the authors evaluated patterns of metastases to the liver, lung, or both, looking for an association with survival. Brain metastasis occurs later in patients with lung metastasis than with liver metastasis, and overall survival is longer in patients with lung than with liver metastasis. This is the first analysis of metastasis patterns and survival in CRC patients, and the authors recommend routine cerebral imaging for CRC patients to detect brain metastases.
