“The care of patients with brain and spine metastasis is in some ways more complex than other cancer care because of the diversity of cancer types that fall under this umbrella,” says Anoop Patel, MD, DCBSM co-director. 🔗 duke.is/z/bfrj @DukeMets @Dukeneurosurg

Laser interstitial thermal therapy #LITT continues to gain acceptance in neurosurgery, incl. neurosurgical onc. Most patients leave the hospital in 12–48h & can rapidly return to systemic and rad. therapies. Just out from @PeterFecci et al: link.springer.com/article/10… @DukeMets

Research led by Dorothy Sipkins, MD, PhD, identified a previously unknown shortcut #breastcancer cells use to metastasize to the leptomeninges -thin membranes protecting the brain- as well as clues suggesting how to block this path. @DukeCancer @DukeMets medschool.duke.edu/news/how-…
