Overview
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of primary central nervous system lymphoma, because the tumors are often deeply seated and spread throughout the brain.[1]
Surgery
- Surgery does not play a role in the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma because the tumors are often spread throughout the brain and located deep within the brain.[1]
- A surgery for stereotactic biopsy may be done to make a diagnosis.[1]
