Produktbeschreibung

The computer tomograms of the brain were investigated in 195 patients in whom a primary carcinoma was known to be present. Metastases of bronchial and mammary carcinomas are most frequent. It is not possible to achieve a definite differentiation of brain metastases from known primary tumors. References 1.

The reperted frequency in the literature var ies between 13% and-abeut 50%. This apparent discrepancy can be ex plained by the different cempesitien ef different series with regard to. the patient's age, turner histelegy and lecatien (4).
