Although the brain is a common site of blood-borne metastases in many cancers, a tumour in the brain secondary to cervical cancer is very rare. This report describes 4 patients with brain metastases from cancer of the cervix who were identified from 674 patients with invasive cervical cancer at one institution in Delhi, India, between January 2001 and December 2003. This report presents and discusses these 4 cases and reviews the literature for the optimal management of such cases.
