Metástasis encefálicas silentes en la estadificación inicial del cáncer de pulmón. Evaluación mediante tomografía computarizada y resonancia magnética

The incidence of silent brain metastasis is high in patients under 70 years of age, particularly in patients with adenocarcinomas, even in initial stages. This should be taken into consideration when planning staging procedures. Cranial MRI seems to be more accurate than cranial CT for detecting multiple metastases and small metastases.
