Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Detect specific biomarkers in CSF and/or blood from patients clinically suspected of primary central nervous system lymphoma. Thereby improving the diagnosis of CNS lymphoma in a majority of patients and reducing the need for tissue confirmation through stereotactic biopsy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Possible secondary objectives: - determine the relationship between the prognosis of CNS lymphoma and specific biomarkers, - determine the relationship between specific biomarkers and therapy response. | — |
