Randomized Phase III Study of Whole-Brain Radiotherapy for Primary CNS Lymphoma
Neurol 84:1242-1248, Korfel, A.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Although the statistical proof of noninferiority regarding OS was not given, our results suggest no worsening of OS without WBRT in primary therapy of PCNSL. This study provides Class II evidence that in PCNSL HDMTX-based chemotherapy followed by WBRT does not significantly increase survival compared to chemotherapy alone. The study lacked the precision to exclude an important survival benefit or harm from WBRT.
