Carcinoid brain metastases are extremely rare and are associated with a poor prognosis. Treatment options are variable, ranging from surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy alone or combined. We report on a case of rectal carcinoid metastatic to the cerebellum and review chemotherapeutic regimens for carcinoid tumor treatment, focusing on the potential role of temozolomide or stereotactic radiosurgery.
类癌脑转移极为罕见，且预后不良。治疗方案多种多样，包括单独或联合使用手术、放疗或化疗。我们报告一例直肠类癌转移至小脑的病例，并回顾类癌肿瘤治疗的化疗方案，重点关注替莫唑胺或立体定向放射外科的潜在作用。
