Abstrakt: This document discusses the outcomes for patients with secondary central nervous system (CNS) involvement in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and estimates their eligibility for CAR T-cell therapy. Secondary CNS lymphoma (SCNSL) is associated with poor survival, and there is currently no established standard therapy for this condition. The document presents a study that investigated the outcomes of 145 consecutive SCNSL patients treated in clinical routine and estimated the proportion and outcome of those who could potentially have been eligible for CAR T-cell therapy. The study found that only a small percentage of patients met the eligibility criteria for CAR T-cell therapy. The study suggests that alternative treatment options are needed for these high-risk patients, including CAR T-cell therapy. [Extracted from the article]
