Hi Dr. Landolfi;
Here is the next question from the group. First though, I want to pass on the sincere "thanks" expressed by many of the group members for your assistance.
Can tumor cells spread from the spine to the brain?
We have heard of "drop metastasis", where tumor cells can spread from the brain to the spine, via the CSF. Is the opposite possible? Can tumor cells spread from the spine to the brain?
Thank you (as always)
Bruce
The doctor's response...
The csf is constantly moving so yes it is possible to have cells from spine tumors grow in areas above.
