Brain metastases are a frequent manifestation of several common solid tumour types, including lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma. Although the presence of brain-metastatic disease continues to be associated with poor outcomes, advances in surgery, radiotherapy and systemic therapies that can permeate the blood–brain barrier are beginning to improve patient outcomes. In this Review, the authors provide an overview of contemporary advances in the management of brain metastases over the past decade.
