PET-CT to be performed . If still no primary found then label as the case &ldquo;metastases of unknown primary &ldquo;and give chemotherapy

Hello, thank you for posting your query. I&rsquo;m sorry to know about your husband. He seems to have a cancer that has spread to his brain from somewhere else in the body. It may be from breast or even urinary bladder but we are still not sure based on the surgical specimen testing obtained from the brain. Moving forward, I would recommend to consider getting a PET/CT scan to look for primary cancer concealed in any part of the body. Please consider getting a second opinion on the biopsy sample of the specimen obtained from the brain as well. Radiation therapy to the brain is just a supportive and palliative treatment. The type of cancer still needs to be determined. Once these results are available do share those and will be happy to assist you further. Best wishes. Dr Syed Ahmad Raza, Medical oncologist.
