Résumé

The optimal consolidation strategy for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) remains controversial. Preventing radio-induced neurotoxicity of consolidation treatment through reduced-dose whole-brain radiotherapy (rdWBRT) at a dose of 23.4 Gy is an interesting alternative to conventional WBRT in patients aged <60 years. From the LOC Network (Network for Oculo-cerebral Lymphomas) database, we retrospectively selected patients with PCNSL aged <60 years who showed complete (CR) or unconfirmed CR after high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy and had received consolidation rdWBRT as the first-line treatment. If available, prospective neuropsychological follow-ups were reported. Twenty-nine patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2018 met the study selection criteria. Nine (31%) patients experienced relapse during the follow-up, with a median time from radiotherapy to recurrence of 8.7 months (interquartile range, 4-11.5). Five of those patients received salvage treatment and consolidation with intensive chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Progression-free survival rates were 89% (95% confidence interval [CI] 79%-100%), 72% (95% CI, 56%-88%), and 69% (95% CI, 52%-85%) at 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively. Overall survival rates were 100%, 89% (95% CI, 79%-100%), and 86% (95% CI, 74%-99%) at 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively, and were consistent with those observed for standard-dose WBRT (sdWBRT). No prognostic factor was identified. The results of the 36-month neuropsychological follow-up for a subset of patients appeared reassuring, with most patients exhibiting maintenance of or improvements in their baseline conditions. Our results, combined with phase 2 study results, support the use of rdWBRT instead of sdWBRT as a consolidation treatment in <60-year-old patients showing CR after induction treatment.
