Abstract
- The detection of lymphoma cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a means to diagnose lymphomatous meningitis is problematic due to its low sensitivity. We hypothesize that matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) would be important in lymphomatous meningitis because lymphoma cells may produce MMPs for brain invasion and angiogenesis.
