Have you ever wondered, how the cancer spreading inside a patient’s brain? Sometimes, it’s hard to imagine, unless there is a detailed explanation from the experts.

Recently, the oncologists have been unveiled the mask of the cancer, and shown it the first time to public on how cancer spreading to the brain and starting to grow inside it!

According to the study of Oxford University, the metastatic cancer cells use to anchor themselves to blood vessels in the brain. For your information, metastasis is happening when cancer starting to break out from a tumor and spreads to other parts of the body, including brain. That’s why cancer is considered as fatal in most cases!




Amongst the metastases, brain metastases are the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system. Once the cancer have spreading inside the brain, then the longest survival times for the patient is in within 3 months to 12 months!

In order to stop the cancer cells from spreading and growing in the patient’s brain, researchers have tried their best seeking the effective ways to inhibit the metastasis process!

Well said and illustrated Wilson, but we must remember all brain cancers are not a result of metastases, some originate in the brain, and some can be cured

Yep, but we still need to watch out for the metastases as well, Katyzzz. Like the old saying, "Better be prepared than sorry"...
