How long does it take for melanoma to spread to brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comments: I do not believe we should look at the time for melanoma to go to brain, as the first sign in the body might be a brain hemorrhage secondary to presence in brain. More typically, brain metastasis is late, over months to even a year or two. This nasty disease however, is in the main, poorly predictable.
