Abstract:Purpose/Objective(s): Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is associated with limited survival and treatment options for patients with solid tumor malignancies. While photon involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) is effective for local palliation, it lacks durability. Craniospinal irradiation (CSI), in contrast, treats the entire central nervous system (CNS) compartment, thus potentially improving disease control. We previously reported the safety and tolerability of proton CSI (pCSI) in a completed phase IB study, and … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
