Abstract

To describe the pattern of metastatic brain tumors (MBT) at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) over the 6 years and Correlate the clinical data and treatment options with the survival rate. Design: retrospective study. Results: 66 patients were reviewed. Overall, the most common MBT was bronchogenic carcinoma. The mean age was 57.7±15.7 years. The survival was affected negatively in correlation with tumor multiplicity (P <.014), numbness (P <.0001), abnormal vision (P <.001) and seizure (P <.00005). The survival was improved by radiotherapy alone (P <.001). Conclusions: Several clinical risk factors may affect the survival of MBT patients.
