Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining
radiation therapy with a corticosteroid, such as dexamethasone, may be an effective treatment
for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy and high-dose
dexamethasone in treating older patients with primary CNS non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
