Malignant brain tumours differ from cancers at most other sites in that their malignant potential is almost exclusively due to their local infiltrative growth within the brain around the region in which they arose. There is only rarely metastatic disease to distant sites. The extent of the growth is assessed by MRI scanning of the brain at the time of diagnosis.
