Carcinomatous Meningitis Symptoms and Treatments
Carcinomatous meningitis is a cancer that has spread from one part of the body to another. It moves through the bloodstream into the protective membranes of the brain and spine. People with blood cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma, are more prone to developing carcinomatous meningitis. Symptoms may include confusion, headaches and weakness.
The AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network is a state-of-the-art facility for anyone affected by carcinomatous meningitis. We specialize in a full range of cancer treatments, from effective traditional therapies to minimally invasive surgeries that may be used to treat primary tumors. Using advanced technologies, our neurosurgeons accurately identify and remove tumors. With more healthy tissue left intact, patients recover quicker with less scarring and pain.
