Is Neurosurgery Right for Your Patient?
Some patients may benefit from a surgical resection of brain metastasis.

Some patients who present with central nervous system metastasis should receive urgent neurosurgical consult, according to Corey D. Adamson, MD. This consult can help determine potential benefit and danger related to surgical resection of the brain.

“There is a subset of these patients where if we do a good job and pick the right patient, we can have a huge impact on survival,” Adamson said. “As a surgeon we are really looking at the neurologic problem and how we can fix that and maintain a good functional status.”
