Author(s): Paulo Roriz*
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women globally, and metastasis is the leading factor in breast cancer patients’ deaths. 10% to 16% of patients with metastatic breast cancer experience central nervous system metastasis, this rate has increased as a result of new developments in systemic treatment. Accurate diagnosis and evaluation for treatment are crucial because there are several treatments for brain metastases. One of the most trustworthy preoperative tests is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which can also be used to estimate the molecular characteristics of a tumor based on radiographic data such as the number of lesions, solid or ring enhancement, and cyst formation. In patients with a small number of brain metastases and a generally satisfactory performance status, surgical excision remains to be crucial. For a prolonged survival time, single brain metastasi..
