Leptomeningeal metastasis is an uncommon but serious complication in patients with advanced cancers. Leptomeningeal metastasis is diagnosed in approximately 5% of the patients, most commonly among patients with cancers of breast and lung, melanoma, and gastrointestinal malignancies. Treatment goal is to improve survival and quality of the patients. Use of targeted therapies and immunotherapy has led to improved survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this article, we review emerging data on use of mutation-specific agents and immunotherapy in the treatment of leptomeningeal metastasis among patients with NSCLC.
软脑膜转移是晚期癌症患者中一种罕见但严重的并发症。约5%的患者会被诊断为软脑膜转移,最常见于乳腺癌、肺癌、黑色素瘤和胃肠道恶性肿瘤患者中。治疗目标是提高患者的生存率和生活质量。靶向治疗和免疫治疗的应用已使非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的生存率得到提高。在本文中,我们综述了关于使用突变特异性药物和免疫治疗NSCLC患者软脑膜转移的最新数据。
