A member asked:

What are the best drugs for metastatic brain tumor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a simple answer: The type of drug to treat a metastatic brain tumor depends on the type of tumor. Drugs to treat metastatic breast cancer are very different than those used to treat malignant melanoma which are different than those used to treat lung cancer metastasis to the brain.
