title: [Treatment of cancer metastasis in the brain].
abstract: Surgery for brain metastases is an effective treatment for most cancer patients. It involves low post-operative lethality (2.9%) and causes neurological symptoms to regress in most patients. 12-month survival occured in 48.5%, 5 years--10.8%; mean survival duration with good quality of life--11.8 months. Survival basically depended on tumor pattern, metastases to other organs, multiple foci in the brain and habitus.
