Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC), also known as leptomeningeal metastasis or leptomeningeal disease, is the metastatic spread of cancer to the pia mater, arachnoid, and subarachnoid space. 1 LMC occurs in 5% to 15% of patients with cancer, has limited therapeutic options, and has an average survival time of 2 to 6 months. 1–6 LMC most commonly arises as a result of metastasis from primary cancers originating outside the central nervous system (CNS), but LMC can also arise from primary CNS tumors, including astrocytomas, medulloblastomas, and ependy-momas. 7 The incidence of LMC continues to steadily increase across primary tumor types, likely because of more sensitive detection methods and improved efficacy of therapeutics able to control systemic disease. 1, 8 Currently, whole brain or cranial-spinal radiation and intrathecal (IT) or systemic chemotherapy have offered limited survival benefit with substantial risks of treatment-related toxicity. 5, 9 Thus, the need for a more comprehensive characterization of disease pathogenesis in order to identify novel therapeutic targets has become increasingly urgent. Although recent scientific advances have increased the understanding of how malignant cells seed and thrive within the leptomeninges, more studies are still required. In this review, the authors summarize their current understanding of the molecular landscape of LMC, outline clinical management of these patients, and highlight emerging therapeutic options.
