Discussion comments

1) If patient turned out to have normal CSF study, what is our next step?

Cancinomatosis of meninges can also be diagnosed through MRI image studies.

2) The journals involved in this discussion did not help with patient’s future management. What are some other topics of consideration in the benefit of our patient?

The discussion included here focused mainly on statistical analysis of the course of Burkitt’s lymphoma. Of course, newer studies on autologous stem cell transplant for cure are also being carried out. This topic should also be included here.
