Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The incidence of brain metastases (BMs) has grown over the past decades as a result of the elderly population growth and advances in detection imaging and cancer treatments. BM management represents a daily challenge involving oncologists, neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, pathologists, neuroradiologists and nuclear physicians in a multidisciplinary setting. This special issue aims at an updated discussion on the advanced techniques for BM radiological and pathological characterization as well as on the available treatments which should be tailored on patient and cancer features. Special attention should be paid to the clinical, radiological and pathological criteria being considered for addressing patients to different treatment options such as surgery, radiosurgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and/or advanced targeted therapies alongside considerations on their impact on cognitive functions. Future perspectives concerning the interaction between cancer and the brain microenvironment are also encouraged.
