Outcomes and clinical features of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis: A single center experience

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the clinical features
and prognostic factors of cancer patients with leptomeningeal
carcinomatosis (LMC) in a single center.
Patients and Methods: Patients 18 and older who had
LMC diagnosis between 2013 and 2018 at Medical Oncology
Department, Antalya Education and Research Hospital, Health
Sciences University were included into the study. Their clinical
features, treatment approaches, overall survival, survival after LMC
diagnosis and prognostic factors on survival were retrospectively
investigated.
Results: Sixteen solid cancer patients included in the study.
The median time from primary tumor diagnosis to LMC diagnosis
was 6 months (range, 1-180 months). The median time from LMC
diagnosis to death was 1.5 months (range, 1-14 months). The
median overall survival for the entire population was 11 months
(95%CI 5.7-16.3). Age (p=0.6), gender (p=0.51), metastases areas
(for liver metastases p=0.95, for lung metastases p=0.26, for bone
metastases p=0.82), The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
Performance Status ( ECOG PS) (p=0.18), treatment type of LMC
(only radiation therapy (RT) p=0.33; RT followed by intrathecal
methotrexate (IT MTX) (p=0.35), RT type (p=0.76) and time from
primary tumor diagnosis to LMC diagnosis (p=0.50) did not show
prognostic effect on overall survival after LMC diagnosis.
Conclusion: Overall survival after LMC diagnosis is too short
to see the effect of treatment modalities. Our study did not find any
favorable or unfavorable prognostic factor on survival after LMC
diagnosis.
