Abstract
Lung cancer patients with leptomeningeal metastases (LMs) suffer from severe clinical symptoms, poor quality of life, narrow diagnostic and therapeutic time windows, low response to standard treatments, short survival periods, and poor prognoses. At present, there is a lack of precise diagnosis and treatment pathways and relevant consensus for LMs of lung cancer. In order to better guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of LMs of lung cancer in an early, reasonable, and safe way, the experts of the Neurological Tumor Specialist Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) have formulated this consensus based on the actual diagnosis and treatment of LMs of lung cancer in China, with reference to the latest research data, relevant guidelines and consensus, and the experts' clinical experience, as well as the results of experts' polling on the pre-set issues of LMs. The consensus focuses on diagnosing LMs, stratified management, efficacy evaluation systems, treatment strategies, common complications, and palliative care. It gives recommendations in each of the five aspects to provide clinicians with suggestions and references for diagnosing and treating LMs in lung cancer.
期刊介绍:
Thoracic Cancer aims to facilitate international collaboration and exchange of comprehensive and cutting-edge information on basic, translational, and applied clinical research in lung cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal cancer, breast cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Prevention, treatment and research relevant to Asia-Pacific is a focus area, but submissions from all regions are welcomed. The editors encourage contributions relevant to prevention, general thoracic surgery, medical oncology, radiology, radiation medicine, pathology, basic cancer research, as well as epidemiological and translational studies in thoracic cancer. Thoracic Cancer is the official publication of the Chinese Society of Lung Cancer, International Chinese Society of Thoracic Surgery and is endorsed by the Korean Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the Hong Kong Cancer Therapy Society.
The Journal publishes a range of article types including: Editorials, Invited Reviews, Mini Reviews, Original Articles, Clinical Guidelines, Technological Notes, Imaging in thoracic cancer, Meeting Reports, Case Reports, Letters to the Editor, Commentaries, and Brief Reports.
