Can radiotherapy be used for brain lymphoma?

Patient's question:

I found out about brain lymphoma, it's said to be malignant, and it's recommended for radiotherapy. I want to ask about the radiotherapy for brain lymphoma?

Doctor's answer:

Lymphoma is more common in the peripheral lymphatic system and is relatively rare in the central nervous system. Once diagnosed, it indicates a poor prognosis. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor, and local radiotherapy can be supplemented. After radiotherapy, symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, and dry vomiting may recur. Careful laboratory tests may show an increase in white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Some patients may experience dizziness, headaches, and other symptoms during the initial phase of radiotherapy.
