Comparative analysis of the lumboperitoneal shunt versus ventriculoperitoneal shunt for leptomeningeal metastasis-associated hydrocephalus in non-small cell lung cancer
LP and VP shunt surgeries are equally effective for patients with LM-associated hydrocephalus in NSCLC. LP shunt surgery under local anesthesia could be recommended for its safety and patient acceptability. Favorable prognostic factors, including high KPS, absence of ICP, and postoperative EGFR-TKI treatment, should guide individualized treatment strategies to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
