Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out how well an experimental drug called DepoCyt works
for neoplastic meningitis (cancer that has spread to the tissues around the brain and spinal
cord). DepoCyt is a new slow-release form of the cancer drug called ara-C (cytarabine).
Cytarabine has been used for many years to treat cancer.
