The goal of Intrathecal Chemotherapy is to ensure that the cancer cells within the brain or spinal cord receive the most direct and potent treatment, especially when standard chemotherapy might not be effective in reaching those areas. The drugs are typically injected into the spinal fluid through a needle that is inserted into the lower back (lumbar puncture), and the procedure is usually done in a hospital or clinical setting. It is a targeted and focused treatment method, and while it can be highly effective, it also comes with potential risks such as infection, headaches, or damage to the nervous system, which is why it is carefully monitored by medical professionals. This approach is an example of precision medicine in cancer care, aiming to deliver the right treatment to the right place in the body for optimal results.
