A member asked:
What is the prognosis with bronchogenic carcinoma and brain metastasis newly diagnosed?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Prognosis: Unfortunately to present with a new lung cancer with brain metastasis generally carries a poor prognosis with median survival generally measured in few months. Survival prediction is always difficult and has a lot to do with 'performance status', ie how well a patient is carrying on with activities of daily living. Specific cell type, size of tumor, extent of metastasis in brain and elsewhere.

Not good: In general, cancers that have distant metastasis, like to the brain have poor prognosis.
