Abstract

Dissemination in the central nervous system (CNS) in patients with aggressive lymphoma is a relatively rare but a frequently deadly complication that occurs between 5 (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, DLBCL) and 30% (Burk itt lymphoma, BL and B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, B-LL) [1] in different subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, although a CNS prophylaxis is normally included into treatment regimens for BL and B-LL, in other NHL a prophylactic treatment is not systematically warranted because it may increase the toxicity of systemic chemotherapy.
