Neoplastic meningitis appears to be increasing in frequency with improvements in the treatment of many cancers. It is most often recognized in patients with leukemia, breast cancer, lymphomas, and small-cell cancer of the lung, although it may be seen with virtually any malignancy. Treatment should include intrathecal chemotherapy, radiation therapy to

Neoplastic meningitis is a complication of the CNS that occurs in 3-5% of patients with cancer and is characterised by multifocal neurological signs and symptoms. Diagnosis is problematic because the disease is commonly the result of pleomorphic manifestations of neoplastic meningitis and co-occurrence of disease at other sites.

Neoplastic Meningitis and Paraneoplastic Syndromes
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2021Neoplastic meningitis (NM) and paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs) are a rare group of disorders present in patients with cancer. Clinical diagnosis of these conditions is challenging, and imaging and laboratory analysis play a significant role in diagnosing. Diagnosis of NM largely depends on documenting circulating tumor cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (

Current Options for the Treatment of Neoplastic Meningitis
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2002Neoplastic meningitis, which is the diffuse involvement of the leptomeninges by infiltrating cancer cells, may be caused by many systemic tumors. The treatment options for neoplastic meningitis disease remain unsatisfactory. In this review article, we discuss the pathogenesis and cytology of neoplastic meningitis and the options for treatment ...

The early recognition and diagnosis of neoplastic meningitis
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2023The diagnosis and monitoring of leptomeningeal metastases (LM) from solid tumors are challenging, and the combination of neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology does not always allow to achieve a definitive diagnosis.This review summarizes the studies that have investigated CSF liquid biopsy to improve the initial ...

The pathogenesis of neoplastic meningitis
Current Oncology Reports, 2003Neoplastic meningitis (NM) is a dreaded metastatic complication occurring in 5% to 10% of cancer patients. Survival is limited, usually ranging from 4 to 16 weeks. The pathogenesis of NM has not been extensively investigated but can be considered from the anatomic and molecular biologic standpoints.

Neoplastic meningitis due to colorectal cancer
Clinical Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020Herein, we describe a rare case of neoplastic meningitis in a 54-year-old male with a history of colorectal cancer. He first noticed a loss of sensation in his left thigh along with back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a tumor lesion in the cauda equina. The tumor was surgically resected and pathologically diagnosed as a metastatic tumor of the

Biology and Therapy of Neoplastic Meningitis
Current Oncology Reports, 2010Neoplastic meningitis (NM) occurs in 5% to 8% of cancer patients, commonly as an end-stage process in previously metastatic disease. As newer therapeutics extend patient survival by maintaining long-term control of systemic malignancies, the incidence of NM is likely to rise.

Neoplastic meningitis-related encephalopathy
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2005A retrospective comparison evaluating survival in two well-matched cohorts of patients with cytologically positive neoplastic meningitis (NM) presenting with or without encephalopathy.Two cohorts were studied: 20 with and 20 without of NM-related encephalopathy defined as a confusional syndrome.
