[Brain metastases in cases of renal cell carcinoma].
Brain metastases represent the most common intracranial neoplasia. The lung, breast and kidney are the primary tumor locations most often associated with brain metastasis. Seizures and neurological impairment are typical manifestations of neoplastic cerebral dissemination, which, when untreated, usually lead to death within a few months. In this review, we discuss whole brain radiotherapy, surgical resection and stereotactic radiosurgery as the currently used therapeutic options for renal cell cancer metastasis in the brain.
