What are other treatments for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis?

Healthcare providers may recommend the following treatments for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis:

  • Radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses strong beams of energy to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing.
  • Systemic chemotherapy to treat your original tumor.
  • Targeted therapy. This treatment involves medications that target specific changes in cancer cells.
  • Immunotherapy. This is used if HER-2 breast cancer was your original cancer.
