Prophylaxis of CNS relapse should be performed in patientswith involvement of specific extranodal sites such as the:testis, paranasal sinuses, hard palate, orbit, paravertebralmasses and bone marrow. (Grade B)

Prophylaxis of CNS relapse should be considered inpatients with involvement of more than one extranodal siteand increased LDH. (Grade B)
