Abstract

What are desirable roles of general neurologists in the diagnosis and treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)? These issues were discussed 7 years back in the special feature articles of this journal. In the last 7 years genome analyses using liquid biopsy specimens have progressed and are becoming popular in the management of PCNSL, thereby enabling neurosurgeons to avoid invasive brain biopsy. The role of general neurologists in this country is not to be directly engaged in the PCNSL management, but to make an early diagnosis of PCNSL and to refer patients with PCNSL to specialists for a combination of chemotherapy and irradiation therapy.
