Cancerous changes in lymphocytes may lead to the development of PCNSL People who have AIDS and those who are otherwise immunocompromised due to pre-existing conditions and/or who have had a kidney transplant are at greater risk of developing PNCSL. The prognosis for affected individuals depends upon the stage, size and location of the tumor, the age and overall health of the individual, and whether or not the tumor has recurred and/or metastasized.
