Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma: Report Of Three Cases

Abstract

Primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon tumor, representing 0.85-2.0 % of all primary brain tumors. PCNSL occurs more frequently in congenital and acquired im-munodeficiency states, especially in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Patients with sporadic PCNLS without HIV infection and immunosupression have traditionally been treated with radiotherapy (RT). For nonimmunosuppression patients, whole brain irradiation (40 to 50 Gy) with or without a local boost to the primary tumor (60 to 65 Gy) is suggested. Despite high clinical and radiological response rate and effective palliation, the disease mostly recurs with a median survival fallowing RT alone only 10-18 months and few long-term survivors. Improved survival with the addition of chemotherapy (CT) to RT has been suggested; but combined modality therapy did not produce an overall survival advantage in multiple trials.
