Raising Awareness for LMD

About This Campaign

When cancer spreads to the central nervous system, it usually goes to the brain tissue. In a small but growing number of cases, though, it shows up in the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord and/or in the leptomeninges, the lining of the brain and spinal cord. This type of metastasis is known as leptomeningeal disease (LMD), or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
