Methods: Clinical data of 4 812 patients with PCNSL in SEER database from January 1975 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 2 831 were male and 1 981 were female, the ratio of male to female was 1.4∶1.0. ⋯ The median survival time of patients with different treatment methods was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusions: Surgical resection may improve the prognosis of some PCNSL patients. Patients who have access to receive GTR or STR combined with chemotherapy may have prolonged Cancer-specific survival.
