Abstract
Leptomeningial metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer is a rare and complex clinical case. The lack of randomized clinical trials complicates the process of choosing appropriate treatment methods with the proven efficacy for this cohort of patients and often puts clinicians in a difficult position. Therefore, the search for possible potentially effective treatment options for patients with leptomeningeal metastases is an important direction. Here is a description of a clinical case of a patient with squamous cell lung cancer treatment using intrathecal chemotherapy with etoposide.
