Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • Intracerebral metastases are the most common intracranial tumors in adults, occurring in up to 30% of adult cancer patients.[1]
  • Intracerebral metastases are estimated to account for approximately 25-50% of intracranial tumors in hospitalised patients.[2]
  • Upto 20–40% of patients with adult systemic malignancies will develop intracerebral metastases in the course of their disease; about 10–20% will be symptomatic.[3]

Incidence

  • The incidence of intracerebral metastases is estimated to be 200,000 cases annually in the United States.[4]

Age

  • The incidence of intracerebral metastases increases with age. The peak incidence occurs in patients over 65 years of age.[5]

Gender

  • Intracerebral metastases affect men and women equally.[5]
