Hyperosmolar and methotrexate therapy avoiding surgery in the acute presentation of primary central nervous system lymphoma.
2014
Background:
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive type of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Without treatment, PCNSL is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, including rapid neurological deterioration. In contrast to other high-grade intracranial neoplasms, PCNSL is considered to have a high response rate to conventional medical therapy, especially in younger patients, and therefore warrants particular attention in terms of nonsurgical treatment.
