The recent approval of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for systemic B-cell lymphomas has shifted the treatment landscape for previously incurable patients. Even though this therapy was initially underexplored in the setting of CNSL due to safety and efficacy concerns, it could offer a new therapeutic avenue for these patients. In this review, we will provide a concise overview of the current treatment strategies for CNSL, highlighting their key limitations, including relapse rates and long-term toxicity.
