Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Glucarpidase may help return the level of methotrexate in the blood to a safe range. Giving high-dose methotrexate together with glucarpidase and leucovorin may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of methotrexate when given together with glucarpidase and leucovorin in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Immediate toxicity (incidence of reactions to glucarpidase) as determined by the NCI CTC
Incidence and severity of renal dysfunction as determined by the NCI CTC
Incidence and severity of mucositis as determined by the NCI CTC and WHO mucositis grading scale
Incidence and severity of CNS toxicity and neurocognitive changes taken from patients' medical records and measured using the Mini-Mental State questionnaire and MRI data
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Hematological toxicity (i.e., number of courses of therapy associated with neutrophils < 0.5 x 10e9/L or platelets < 50 x 10e9/L as measured by routine blood counts)
Incidence of infection (i.e., number of days with fever ≥ 38 C° measured by clinical examination and days of intravenous antibiotics taken from patients' medical records)
Number of inpatient days taken from patients' medical records
Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 6 months after completion of study therapy
