Prevalence of Central Nervous System Relapse in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) relapse in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare but serious complication associated with poor outcomes. The prevalence of CNS relapse in DLBCL varies widely in the literature, ranging from 1% to 30%, depending on several risk factors and diagnostic methods. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current literature on the prevalence of CNS relapse in DLBCL, focusing on risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies. Understanding the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of CNS relapse in DLBCL is crucial for the development of effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.
