Abstract

An excessive increase in the incidence of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) has been reported since the mid-1980s in the U.S. and U.K. Clinical studies have shown that radiotherapy and chemotherapy may prolong survival. In the current study, the authors describe the incidence, treatment, and survival of an unselected group of patients with PCNSL in the southern and eastern Netherlands. Data regarding patients diagnosed between 1989-1994 were obtained from 4 population-based regional cancer registries in the southern and eastern Netherlands (n = 86) and the Eindhoven Cancer Registry for 1980-1988 (n = 6). Lymphomas were registered as PCNSL when a tissue diagnosis of CNS lymphoma was established for a patient with neurologic symptoms (i.e., lymphomas were not necessarily restricted to the CNS at the time of diagnosis). Only patients diagnosed during their lifetime with Stage I disease, Stage "IV" disease (i.e., diffuse CNS lymphoma), or disease of unknown stage were included (63 patients, 8 patients, and 15 patients, respectively, between 1989-1994). For 80 patients (93%) follow-up was complete until January 1, 1997. Between 1989-1994, an average World Standardized Rate of 2.3 cases and 1.7 cases per 1 million perso...Continue Reading

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
