Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This study suggests that R-IDARAM combined with intrathecal immunochemotherapy may be high effective in elderly patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
Detailed description
The investigators will evaluate response rate, progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity in elderly patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) after systemic and intrathecal immunochemotherapy with deferred radiotherapy.
Interventions
R-IDARAM comprised of rituximab 375 mg/m2 (day 1), idarubicin 10 mg/m2(day 2); dexamethasone 100 mg/m2 (12 h.infusion in day 2, 3 and 4); cytarabine 1 g/m2 (1 h. infusion in day 2); methotrexate 1.5 g/m2 (6 h. infusion in day 4 with folinic acid rescue). Intrathecal Immunochemotherapy comprised of rituximab 20mg, MTX 15mg, dexamethasone 5mg and Ara-c 50mg once a week.
