 Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) is a severe condition in which cancer spreads to the membranes lining the brain and spinal cord. It is most caused by breast, lung, or melanoma cancer. The symptoms of LM are caused by cancer cells clogging the normal exits for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), causing a fluid buildup and increased pressure in the brain. This increased pressure can cause vague but uncomfortable symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, vision changes, and difficulty walking. Cancer cells can also disturb nerves exiting the brain, causing numbness, weakness, or pain. LM is a difficult condition to treat, and there is no cure. However, treatment can help to reduce the symptoms and prolong survival. Treatment typically involves a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and steroids. The goal of treatment is to reduce pressure on the brain and reduce the number of cancer cells causing the pressure. The prognosis for patients with LM remains poor. The median survival time is ...

 Leptomeningeal Metastases (LM) are defined as the spread of the disease to the meninges surrounding the brain and the spinal cord. They are a rare but frequently devastating complication of advanced cancer. When cancer cells are found in your leptomeninges or CSF, this is called leptomeningeal metastases (LM). LM stick onto nerves as they exit your brain and spinal cord, causing weakness and numbness. LM can also clog your leptomeninges and prevent CSF from being drained properly, causing CSF and pressure to build up inside your brain. LC is diagnosed in approximately 5% of patients with advanced cancer. However, it can be detected in up to 20% of cases in autopsy studies. LC is most frequently associated with breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, gastrointestinal cancer, and cancer of unknown primary. Also, it can be detected in primary brain tumors and hematologic malignancies. The prognosis of LC is poor, with median survival ranging from 4–6 weeks when untreated to 2–3 months ...
