Treatment for LC aims to alleviate symptoms and prolong survival, but the prognosis remains poor. The following treatment options are commonly considered:
Intrathecal Chemotherapy: This involves the direct administration of chemotherapeutic agents into the CSF to target malignant cells. Systemic Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment may be used to control the primary cancer and any other metastatic sites. Radiation Therapy: Focal or whole-brain radiation can be used to alleviate symptoms and control disease spread. Supportive Care: This includes measures to manage symptoms such as pain, seizures, and nausea.
