Hd MTX and cytarabine are largely used in first line CT regimen. Consolidation WBRT has almost disappeared in the elderly and is still offered in one third of the younger patients. The use of Rituximab and hd CT-ASCT is increasing over time. Long term survival has become frequent, especially among youngest patients.On behalf of the French LOC network.
