Cerebral Cavernomas (CC) are vascular malformations located in the Central Nervous System (CNS) characterized by endothelium-lined vascular channels without parenchyma between them, whose main risk is hemorrhage. The aim of this study is to report adult cancer patients that developed CC after radiotherapy (RT) to the CNS during oncological surveillance.
