Update on Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Curr Opin Neurol 18:645-653, Plotkin,S.R., 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In 2005, the optimal treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma remains undefined. Treatment of newly diagnosed disease should include methotrexate-based chemotherapy but the role of irradiation and intrathecal chemotherapy remain unclear. Salvage therapy for progressive or recurrent primary central nervous system lymphoma is an area of active interest but no standard recommendations exist at the present time. Future studies on the biology of recurrent primary central nervous system lymphoma should help to clarify treatment options for these patients.
