Warthin tumors are a type of benign salivary gland tumor and aren't typically associated with lung cancer or brain metastases, so they may not be directly relevant to managing lung cancer.
If there's concern about tumors in the brain related to lung cancer, what's more relevant is lung cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the brain. This is actually one of the more common places lung cancer can spread to.
Symptoms of lung cancer brain metastases can include:
- Changes in mood or personality
- Speech problems
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Weakness in arms or legs
- Memory issues or confusion
If any of these symptoms are present, it's really important to speak with an oncologist. They may recommend imaging like an MRI or CT scan to check for brain metastases.
Treatment options for brain metastases from lung cancer can include surgery, whole-brain radiation therapy, or stereotactic radiosurgery, depending on the number and size of tumors.
