- Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). High-dose methotrexate (MTX) is the most effective drug available to treat these lesions, either as a single agent or in combination with other drugs. Due to the lack of well-conducted randomized trials, the optimal treatment remains controversial. Available retrospective studies are difficult to discuss, however, some common themes can be found.
