- Abstract
The article reports on a retrospective study to examine the effects of consolidation treatment after a complete response (CR) to initial conduction methotrexate (MXT)-based chemotherapy followed by whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for primary central nervous system lymphoma. Results indicated that a combination treatment with WBRT and high-dose cytarabine failed to enhance survival.
