Abstract
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is reported in 3.8% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, more frequently in adenocarcinoma, and it correlates with poor prognosis. Data regarding the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in LM is lacking. We present a case report about the efficacy of nivolumab in a patient with advanced NSCLC and symptomatic LM.Entities:
