Annual International Primary CNS Lymphoma Collaborative Group Meeting

项目摘要 原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤(PCNSL)是一种非结外变异型 霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)，局限于神经系统。诊断和 PCNSL的治疗方法与其他治疗方法不同 各种形式的非霍奇金淋巴瘤或其他脑癌。国际初级中枢神经 系统淋巴瘤协作小组(IPCG)由来自多个国家的专家组成 致力于PCNSL研究的国家和学科。IPCG举办了一年一度的 在美国血液病学会会议上召开的科学会议上 讨论了与PCNSL相关的研究课题。这一主题的国际专家 每年由一个执行委员会选出正在讨论的科学委员会来主持 会议。这些会议导致了多个协作项目，这些项目 对该领域产生了影响，并已在同行评议文献中发表。这个 IPCG年度会议是产生新想法和方法的关键论坛 一种独特的脑癌。2013年会议的主题是PCNSL in the 免疫受损的人类宿主。

Project Summary Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an extranodal variant of non- Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is confined to the nervous system. The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to PCNSL are different from those that are applied to other forms of NHL or to other brain cancers. The International Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma Collaborative Group (IPCG) consists of specialists from multiple countries and disciplines dedicated to the study of PCNSL. The IPCG holds an annual scientific conference at the American Society of Hematology meeting in which various research topics related to PCNSL are discussed. An international expert on the topic under discussion is selected each year by an executive committee to chair the scientific conference. These meetings have led to multiple collaborative projects that have impacted the field and that have been published in the peer-reviewed literature. The annual IPCG meeting is a critical forum for generating new ideas and approaches to this unique form of brain cancer. The 2013 conference topic is PCNSL in the Immunocompromised Human Host.
