4How Is Carcinomatous Meningitis Treated?
It can be difficult to treat carcinomatous meningitis. People with this condition are often at late stages of cancer, which has spread to different body areas. This means that their outlook tends to be poor. The main goal of treatment is to improve neurological issues, manage symptoms, extend survival, and improve quality of life. Doctors try to reduce exposure to toxicity while treating carcinomatous meningitis. Based on the neurological condition, possible side effects, and tumor grade, they will design a proper treatment plan. In some cases, the Karnofsky Performance Status can be used to measure how you are performing daily tasks while living with cancer. [7]
