What is your approach to managing follicular lymphoma with central nervous system involvement?

Have you treated such cases with systemic therapies? If so, which ones (e.g., cytotoxic chemotherapy, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, or targeted agents)? If amenable, would you manage cases with local therapy (i.e., surgical resection with or without radiation)?

Not really an expert on this issue. Fairly uncommon to have a follicular lymphoma-associated CNS disease. Our usual is for high-dose methotrexate, Temodar, and rituximab. Potentially followed by autologous stem cell transplant.
