Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is a challenging subtypes of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Emerging clinical data suggest that optimized outcomes are achieved with dose-intensive CNS-penetrant chemotherapy and avoiding whole brain radiotherapy. Anti-CD20 antibody-based immunotherapy as a component of high-dose methotrexate-based induction programs may contribute to improved outcomes. An accumulation of insights into the molecular and cellular basis of disease pathogenesis is providing a foundation for the generation of molecular tools to facilitate diagnosis as well as a roadmap for integration of targeted therapy within the developing therapeutic armamentarium for this challenging brain tumor.
原发性中枢神经系统(CNS)淋巴瘤是侵袭性非霍奇金淋巴瘤中一种具有挑战性的亚型。新出现的临床数据表明,采用剂量密集型可穿透中枢神经系统的化疗并避免全脑放疗可实现最佳治疗效果。基于抗CD20抗体的免疫疗法作为基于大剂量甲氨蝶呤的诱导方案的一部分,可能有助于改善治疗效果。对疾病发病机制的分子和细胞基础的深入了解正在为开发分子工具以促进诊断提供基础,同时也为在这种具有挑战性的脑肿瘤的治疗手段发展中整合靶向治疗提供了路线图。
