CSF Evaluation in Primary CNS Lymphoma Patients by PCR of the CDR III IgH Genes
Neurol 58:390-396,339, Gleissner,B.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This study performed CDR III PCR as a routine diagnostic technique applicable even on CSF samples with low cell counts. These data present low incidence of leptomeningeal involvement in this subset of pretreated PCNSL patients. Because the CSF evaluation did not predict outcome in our patients, further analysis in patients with PCNSL should focus on CSF samples that are obtained early after diagnosis.
