A member asked:
Dad has lymphoma of the brain, what are the success rates of treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CNS lymphoma: Is different from lymphoma elsewhere, not very responsive to treatment. Current treatment does not result in cure, and possibly prolongation of survival. High dose Methotrexate alone, without XRT is the current standard. Sorry to deliver harsh tiding over the net, but you cannot dress this up nicely.
