See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors treated 16 immunocompetent patients with refractory or relapsed primary CNS lymphoma with topotecan. Fifteen patients had been pretreated with up to three chemotherapy regimens, three of them additionally with whole brain irradiation (WBI), and one with WBI alone. Four complete remissions and two partial remissions were achieved. Progression-free survival was 20% at 6 months and 13% at 12 months.
