Is there an Ethnic Predisposition to Developing Brain Metastases (BM) in Asian Patients with Colorectal Cancer?

CONCLUSION: Our study showed an incidence of brain metastases of 7% in the Asian sub-population compared to the historical control of 0.6% - 3.2% in the overall population. These results at the least warrant further investigation in a larger patient population of brain metastases in CRC patients with emphasis on molecular markers. PMID: 32577630 [PubMed]
