Core Tip

Core Tip: Zanubrutinib combined with high-dose methotrexate provided a marked clinical response and tolerance in newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma patients. Additionally, the detection of circulating tumor DNA in cerebrospinal fluid played a significant part in disease surveillance and treatment response monitoring. However, given the small sample size and retrospective nature of this study, further research is required to validate our findings.
