Abstract
Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is a devastating complication of cancer, and its incidence is rising. The inaugural LMD Think Tank Meeting took place in 2023 during the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Central Nervous System (CNS) annual meeting, convening an international group of clinicians and scientists dedicated to understanding and treating LMD in a multidisciplinary fashion. While this meeting laid the foundation for a SNO/ASCO consensus review on the clinical management of LMD, the frequent exclusion of LMD patients from trials was identified as a clear and pervasive challenge. To address this gap, a follow-up assembly convened in 2024 with a goal of developing an SNO/ASCO consensus on best practices for clinical research; this included addressing the role of industry and basic scientists in clinical trials, providing guidance for improved clinical trial design, and accelerating the enrollment of LMD patients into clinical trials. Academic-industry partnerships and multi-institutional collaborations are crucial to advance our understanding of LMD, expand treatment access, and ultimately, improve survival and quality of life for our patients.
期刊介绍:
Neuro-Oncology, the official journal of the Society for Neuro-Oncology, has been published monthly since January 2010. Affiliated with the Japan Society for Neuro-Oncology and the European Association of Neuro-Oncology, it is a global leader in the field.
The journal is committed to swiftly disseminating high-quality information across all areas of neuro-oncology. It features peer-reviewed articles, reviews, symposia on various topics, abstracts from annual meetings, and updates from neuro-oncology societies worldwide.
