Abstract
The standard regimen for the treatment of newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) remains regimens that contain high-dose methotrexate (MTX). While these regimens can provide control for some patients, there is a dearth of options for the treatment of patients with PCNSL who cannot tolerate MTX-containing regimens, or whose cancers are refractory to MTX. In this article, we review a promising new option; ibrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for patients with relapsed and refractory PCNSL.
