Extraneural metastases of pediatric brain tumors: a systematic review
As nearly all pediatric brain tumors carry a risk of extraneural metastases, these findings provide insights into the metastatic behavior of various tumors and highlight that surgery can influence the pattern of metastastic dissemination. This confirms the need for personalized follow-up and clinical management strategies based on tumor type, age, and surgical approach.
