Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators are interested in one of the most frequent tumor types causing leptomeningeal metastasis in order to investigate whether a profile can be established by a high-throughput clinical proteomic approach. All the data acquired will allow a tailored and promising approach to improve the knowledge of metastatic tumor meningitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective is to describe on an exploratory basis the association between the type of proteomic profile from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microvesicles (from unsupervised bioinformatics analysis) and CSF cytology analysis (positive, negative, equivocal) in breast cancer patients with suspected leptomeningeal metastases, on initial CSF samples (hereafter referred to as initial proteomic profile and initial cytology).

Study process

Consultation, Cerebral and medullary MRI, lumbar puncture, CSF sampling, blood sample, collection of breast fluid

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Consultation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

History of the disease, anatomopathological and molecular biological data concerning the initial tumor; Collection of treatments received and/or in progress by the patient for her meningeal tumor (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, surgery, corticosteroids, antiepileptics); Evaluation of the general condition and neurological status.
