Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of idarubicin combined with methotrexate for treatment of patients with central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. A total of 88 patients with central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was selected, out of them 54 patients received idarubicin combined with methotrexate and were selected as A group, other 34 patients received only methotrexate and were selected as B group (control group). Clinical efficacy and safety were compared after treatment. The results showed that in A group 84 patients achieved complete remission (CR), 5 patients archived partial remission (PR), the total remission rate of A group was 72.2%; in B group 10 patients achieved complete remission (CR), 4 patients archived partial remission (PR), the total remission rate of B group was 41.2%; the average survival time of A group was 33.172 months, and the average survival time of B group was 26.305 months, the former was significantly higher than latter (P < 0.05). It is concluded that idarubicin combined with methotrexate for the patients with central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is effective and safe, and may be used in clinic.
