High-Dose Methotrexate as CNS Prophylaxis in Ultra High-Risk Large B-Cell Lymphoma: An International Multicenter Analysis
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) as a prophylactic treatment to prevent central nervous system (CNS) relapse in patients with ultra high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (UHR LBCL). An analysis of 1,923 UHR patients revealed no significant difference in the 3-year CNS relapse rates between those treated with HD-MTX and those who were not. These findings suggest that HD-MTX prophylaxis does not provide a meaningful benefit in reducing CNS relapse in this patient population.

"Oslr has become part of my weekly routine on my day off. The clinical relevance of the summaries is outstanding — I'd rate it 9/10. Being able to consume research hands-free is a huge advantage for busy physicians."
