Comparative evaluation of the efficiency of a new protocol of the primitive LYMPHOME of the central nervous system ( LPSNC) to the old subject, associating Methotrexate and Temozolomide with regard to a standard protocol associating Methotrexate, Procarbazine, Vincristine and Cytarabine.

Detailed Description:

The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and toxicity associated with both protocols in this population, without radiotherapy.

Patients will be randomized to receive one of the two regimens in one of the participating centers. Neuropsychological evaluation will be performed in all patients. Patients will be followed with serial MRIs.
