Hello Everyone,
I had a question regarding the work up of a patient with a known malignancy who presents with focal neurological deficits (TIA or Stroke). In such patients is it recommended to perform a contrast CT Brain or contrast MRI Brain to rule out Brain mets? Are there any guidelines that specify this? Also as a side question - how common is it for Prostate CA to metastasize to the Brain?
Thank you
