Rituximab, Methotrexate, Procarbazine and Vincristine Followed by High-dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem-cell Rescue in Newly-diagnosed Primary CNS Lymphoma (PCNSL)


Inclusion Criteria:



- All patients must have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving the brain, as demonstrated by
CT or MRI and histologic confirmation by one of the following: A positive CSF
cytology for lymphoma or a monoclonal lymphocyte population as defined by cell
surface markers.

A biopsy of the vitreous or uvea demonstrating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Brain biopsy.

- Patients must be HIV-1 negative.

- Patient must have left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%.

count >3000 cells/mm3 and platelet count > 100,000 cells/mm3), liver function
(bilirubin < 2.0 mg%), and adequate renal function (serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dl or
creatinine clearance > 50cc/min/1.73M2).

- Men and women of reproductive potential must agree to use an acceptable method of
birth control during treatment and for six months after completion of treatment.

- Patients must be between 18 and 72 years-old.

- Patients must sign an informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:
