ABSTRACT
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM),with a high omission rate in diagnosis in approximately 5 %~8 % of all patients, is increasingly recognized as a lethality complication. The diagnosis of LM remains challenges,but commonly can be established by CSF cytology or by definitive neuroimaging. Although a combination of focal radiotherapy,intrathecal chemotherapy,and systemic chemotherapy may be necessary to achieve optimal treatment of patients, but prognosis is unacceptable and therapy remains palliative in most patients.
