Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to find the safest and most effective dose for delivering proton beam to the space containing CSF, brain, and spinal cord, in treating leptomeningeal metastases. The researchers think that using proton beam radiation to treat the space containing CSF, brain, and spinal cord, instead of treating only the areas where the metastasized tumor cells are causing symptoms, would improve the treatment of this disease.
