Abstract:
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type of malignant lymphoma which originates in the central nervous system without spreading to other systems. It is more predisposable to immunodeficient individuals. However, an increase in the incidence of PCNSL has been also observed in the healthy population in recent years. PCNSL has short phase of clincal release, and easy to relapse with poor prognosis. Some studies have shown that relative prognostic factors were associated with age, performance status, the radiotherapy and chemotherapy modalities, the response to early adminstration of the glucocorticoid,tissue pathologic type and the molecular biologic marks.
