Radionuclides in the Management of Leptomeningeal Metastasis: Framework and Opportunities

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter surveys the framework under which radiopharmaceuticals are used for the assessment of CSF flow and therapy of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM). The scientific basis is reviewed for development of radiopharmaceuticals for use in LM. The opportunities and limitations in choices of radiopharmaceuticals, imaging, and dosimetry schemes are discussed. Potential novel radiopharmaceuticals and novel use of existing radiopharmaceuticals are examined for future design of radiopharmaceutical trials in LM.
