Abstract

Although whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is commonly used as first-line treatment for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, the prognosis is uncertain despite treatment. Moreover, the benefit of WBRT for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis has not been adequately evaluated. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the utility of WBRT for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
