Nurses play a key role in care of patients with brain metastases and spinal cord compression. Care of this patient population is unique because the skills and knowledge of medical-surgical, neurologic, oncologic, and critical care nurses are required. With the wide variability among patients, a highly individualized care plan is necessary to meet the tremendous challenges of caring for patients with metastatic central nervous system disease.
