Intrathecal chemotherapy is a treatment option for certain types of cancer that have spread to the central nervous system. This type of chemotherapy involves injecting anti-cancer drugs directly into the spinal fluid through a small catheter. This allows the drugs to reach the cancer cells in the brain and spinal cord, which can be difficult to treat with traditional chemotherapy. While intrathecal chemotherapy can be effective, it also carries risks such as infection and damage to the spinal cord. Dr. Nikhil Himthani, a medical oncologist, suggests that intrathecal chemotherapy is often used to treat leukemia and lymphoma that have spread to the central nervous system. He also emphasizes the importance of careful monitoring and management of side effects during intrathecal chemotherapy, as it can be a challenging treatment option.
