Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare brain cancer. High-dose methotrexate treatments improve survival but can cause severe neurotoxicity, especially in older patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma confined to the CNS.
  • It often presents with focal neurological symptoms but involves diffuse brain infiltration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of PCNSL.
  • To highlight the efficacy and toxicity of methotrexate-based therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on PCNSL.
  • Analysis of treatment modalities including corticosteroids, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
  • Focus on high-dose methotrexate regimens.

Main Results:

  • PCNSL is sensitive to various treatments.

  • High-dose methotrexate-based regimens are a cornerstone of therapy, improving response rates and survival.
  • Prolonged survival is often accompanied by significant neurotoxicity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Multimodality therapy, particularly high-dose methotrexate, is effective for PCNSL.
    • Neurotoxicity is a critical concern, especially for elderly patients, necessitating careful management.
