%X Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare but aggressive disease. The application of radiotherapy (RT) as part of treatment usually involved whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Focal radiotherapy (fRT) might be locally active, but comparative outcome data is lacking.Data from a multicenter registry of the German Society of Radiation Oncology's Neuro-Radio-Oncology Working Group (DEGRO AG-NRO) was analyzed. Patients treated for PCNSL between 2007 and 2023 who received RT at any stage of their disease were included. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were conducted to compare survival between focal (fRT) and whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT).Survival data of 151 patients from eight centers were available. The median age at diagnosis was 66.5 years, and the median Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status Scale (ECOG PS) was 2. Eighteen percent of patients (n = 27) received primary RT, 33
