Answer 1

How is this treated and or prevented? What facilities are currently treating this?

Comments

Leptomeningeal disease is a metastatic tumor, there's no effective way to prevent. Many hospitals/cancer centers treat this disease, the treatment is mainly caring for symptoms rather than curing the disease. Classical radiotherapy and chemo don't work well on leptomeningeal disease, the prognosis is poor.
