1. HIV/AIDS
2. Immunosuppression
3. Autoimmune diseases
4. Exposure to certain chemicals
5. Previous radiation therapy
6. Genetic predisposition
7. Age (over 60)
8. Gender (more common in males)

The primary treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is chemotherapy, usually in combination with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy drugs used to treat PCNSL include methotrexate, cytarabine, procarbazine, and vincristine. Radiation therapy is usually given in combination with chemotherapy to reduce the size of the tumor and to reduce the risk of recurrence. In some cases, surgery may be used to remove the tumor. In addition, targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapy may be used to treat PCNSL.

The exact cause of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is unknown. However, some risk factors have been identified, including:

• HIV infection

• Immunosuppression

• Exposure to certain chemicals, such as solvents and pesticides

• Certain genetic conditions, such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome

• Certain autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus

• Previous radiation therapy to the brain or spinal cord

• Certain viral infections, such as Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus 8

The most common symptoms of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) include:

-Headaches

-Seizures

-Changes in vision

-Personality changes

-Confusion

-Memory loss

-Weakness or Numbness in the arms or legs
