5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators are doing this study to find out whether proton craniospinal radiation therapy (proton CSI) or partial photon radiation therapy is more effective at preventing leptomeningeal metastasis from worsening. The proton CSI targets the entire space containing the CSF, brain, and spinal fluid. The partial photon radiation therapy treats only areas where the patient is having symptoms, such as the entire brain or part of the spine. The investigators also want to find out if proton CSI improves the symptoms patients may be experiencing because of the leptomeningeal metastasis. In addition, the investigators will compare the side effects of proton CSI and partial photon therapy. Patients undergoing proton beam RT will receive their treatment at the New York Proton Center in New York, NY. As part of the New York Proton Consortium, MSK has contracted for its faculty to treat patients at the New York Proton Center. If it is unfeasible for patients to get treated at NYPC, patients will have the decision to get treated at ProCure in Summerset, NJ.

Neurocognitive Assessment
Intervention Description
All patients at MSKCC will complete a neurocognitive test battery at study entry (prior to RT), and approximately 3, 6 and 12 months and post -RT. The neurocognitive tests consists of standardized, validated and reliable measures of attention, executive functions, and memory, for which age- and education-matched healthy control published data are available. Patients will also complete self-report mood and fatigue scales at each of the same time points. This testing will only be done at MSKCC. Non-English-speaking patients and pediatric patients are exempt from completing the neurocognitive assessments. Neurocognitive assessments will be performed in person at MSK-Manhattan; an option to perform follow up assessments via telehealth will be available only for patients who are not able to go to Manhattan for these visits.
