A case report of prostate adenocarcinoma with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and intracerebral metastasis

Abstract

Abstract Despite the fact that prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men, metastases to the central nervous system including leptomeningeal involvement by prostate carcinoma is a rare event. The prognosis of metastatic prostate cancer is very poor due to lack of CNS penetrating therapeutic agents.
