Assessment the Impact of IDH Mutation Status on MRI Assessments of White Matter Integrity in Glioma Patients: Insights From Peak Width of Skeletonized Mean Diffusivity and Free Water Metrics. J Magn Reson Imaging 2024. [PMID: 39165049 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.29561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gliomas are highly invasive brain tumors that evade accurate geographic assessment by conventional MRI due to microscopic invasion along white matter (WM) tracts. Advanced diffusion MRI techniques are needed to assess occult WM involvement. PURPOSE To evaluate peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and peak width of skeletonized free water (PSFW), and axonal water fraction (AWF) for assessing glioma-induced alterations in normal-appearing WM and their relationship with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION One hundred five glioma patients (46 ± 13 years), 53 healthy controls (HCs) (46 ± 9 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3.0 T, T1WI, T1-CE, T2WI, T2FLAIR, and DKI. ASSESSMENT PSMD and PSFW were compared between lesion and contralateral sides in glioma patients and between patients and HCs. The associations between these metrics and clinical variables, including IDH1 mutation, was assessed. Corpus callosum (CC) injury, quantified by the AWF, was evaluated for its mediated effect of IDH1 mutation on contralesional PSMD and PSFW. STATISTICAL TESTS Paired-t tests, ANCOVA, univariate and multivariate linear regression, and mediation analysis with significance set at P < 0.05. RESULTS Contralateral PSMD and PSFW were significantly higher in left-sided gliomas (PSMD: 0.206 ± 0.027 vs. 0.193 ± 0.023; PSFW: 0.119 ± 0.019 vs. 0.106 ± 0.020) than in HCs, with similar increases in right-sided gliomas (PSMD: 0.219 ± 0.036 vs. 0.195 ± 0.023; PSFW: 0.129 ± 0.031 vs. 0.109 ± 0.020). IDH1 wild-type gliomas were associated with higher contralateral PSMD and PSFW (β = -0.302 and -0.412). AWF of CC mediated the impact of IDH1 mutations on contralesional PSMD and PSFW (mediated proportion: 42.7% and 53.7%). DATA CONCLUSION PSMD and PSFW are effective biomarkers for assessing WM integrity in gliomas, significantly associated with IDH1 mutation status. AWF of CC mediates the relationship between IDH1 mutation and contralesional PSMD and PSFW. EVIDENCE LEVEL 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

BMC Surg 2024; 24:216. [PMID: 39068399 PMCID: PMC11282846 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02506-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In assessing the clinical utility and safety of 3.0 T intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) combined with multimodality functional MRI (fMRI) guidance in the resection of functional area gliomas, we conducted a study. METHOD Among 120 patients with newly diagnosed functional area gliomas who underwent surgical treatment, 60 were included in each group: the integrated group with iMRI and fMRI and the conventional navigation group. Between-group comparisons were made for the extent of resection (EOR), preoperative and postoperative activities of daily living based on the Karnofsky performance status, surgery duration, and postoperative intracranial infection rate. RESULTS Compared to the conventional navigation group, the integrated navigation group with iMRI and fMRI exhibited significant improvements in tumor resection (complete resection rate: 85.0% vs. 60.0%, P = 0.006) and postoperative life self-care ability scores (Karnofsky score) (median ± interquartile range: 90 ± 25 vs. 80 ± 30, P = 0.013). Additionally, although the integrated navigation group with iMRI and fMRI required significantly longer surgeries than the conventional navigation group (mean ± standard deviation: 411.42 ± 126.4 min vs. 295.97 ± 96.48 min, P<0.0001), there was no significant between-group difference in the overall incidence of postoperative intracranial infection (16.7% vs. 18.3%, P = 0.624). CONCLUSION The combination of 3.0 T iMRI with multimodal fMRI guidance enables effective tumor resection with minimal neurological damage.

Association between the Anatomical Location of Glioblastoma and Its Evaluation with Clinical Considerations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3460. [PMID: 38929990 PMCID: PMC11204640 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13123460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Glioblastoma is a primary malignant brain tumor; it is aggressive with a high degree of malignancy and unfavorable prognosis and is the most common type of malignant brain tumor. Glioblastomas can be located in the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord, originating from glial cells, particularly astrocytes. Methods: The databases MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CINAHL were researched up to January 2024. Two authors independently performed the search, study selection, and data extraction. Methodological quality was evaluated with an assurance tool for anatomical studies (AQUA). The statistical mean, standard deviation, and difference of means calculated with the Student's t-test for presence between hemispheres and presence in the frontal and temporal lobes were analyzed. Results: A total of 123 studies met the established selection criteria, with a total of 6224 patients. In relation to the mean, GBM between hemispheres had a mean of 33.36 (SD 58.00) in the right hemisphere and a mean of 34.70 (SD 65.07) in the left hemisphere, due to the difference in averages between hemispheres. There were no statistically significant differences, p = 0.35. For the comparison between the presence of GBM in the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe, there was a mean in the frontal lobe of 23.23 (SD 40.03), while in the temporal lobe, the mean was 22.05 (SD 43.50), and for the difference in means between the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe, there was no statistically significant difference for the presence of GBM, p = 0.178. Conclusions: We believe that before a treatment, it will always be correct to know where the GBM is located and how it behaves clinically, in order to generate correct conservative or surgical treatment guidelines for each patient. We believe that more detailed studies are also needed to show why GBM is associated more with some regions than others, despite the brain structure being homologous to other regions in which GMB occurs less frequently, which is why knowing its predominant presence in brain regions is very important.

Abstract
Butterfly glioblastoma (bGB) poses significant surgical challenges, yet recent findings have highlighted the potential of surgical decompression in extending patient survival.1-10 The selection of a surgical strategy for bGB varies across studies. Generally, the side with a larger tumor volume is a preferred approach route, and the nondominant hemisphere is preferred when both tumors are similar in size. The contralateral tumor is removed via the resection cavity of the ipsilateral side,11 with successful utilization of endoscopic-assisted techniques.8 In the case of deep-seated bGB covered with a thick intact brain, accessing the tumor requires creating an invasive corridor, therefore minimizing the damage to the intact brain is ideal. A man in his 70s presented the new-onset seizure. Preoperatively, the patient exhibited a Karnofsky performance status of 50% without any motor deficits, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a deep-seated anterior bGB with a larger tumor volume on the left dominant side. Imaging showed the tumor located just beneath the bilateral superior frontal sulci. Therefore we used these sulci to access the tumor with the minimum cut of the intact brain while preserving the frontal aslant tracts and used bilateral interhemispheric approaches to protect the cingulate bundles. We conducted the same technique for another deep-seated anterior bGB case, both resulting in postoperative Karnofsky performance status improvements (Video 1). Tailoring the surgical approach to the unique characteristics of each bGB case is important. The patients consented to the procedure and the publication of their images.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT We have level II evidence that attempting a gross total resection of newly diagnosed suspected glioblastoma is preferred when a maximally safe resection can be attempted. This recommendation extends to elderly patients and those with butterfly gliomas. However, in cases where patients are poor surgical candidates, or for lesions in eloquent areas, subtotal resection or biopsy may be indicated. Recent studies have discussed "supramaximal surgery," which is defined in different ways by different teams, but there is not enough evidence, yet, to make a consistent recommendation for supramaximal resection for specific patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimodal techniques-assisted resection of glioma under general anesthesia (GA) has been shown to achieve similar clinical outcomes as awake craniotomy (AC) in some studies. In this study, we aim to validate the use of multimodal techniques can achieve the maximal safe resection of high-grade glioma involving language areas (HGILAs) under GA. METHODS HGILAs cases were reviewed and collected between January 2009 and December 2020 in our center. Patients were separated into multimodal group (using neuronavigation, intraoperative MRI combined with direct electrical stimulation [DES] and neuromonitoring [IONM]) and conventional group (neuronavigation alone) and clinical outcomes were compared between groups. Studies of HGILAs were reviewed systematically and the meta-analysis results of previous (GA or AC) studies were compared with our results. RESULTS Finally, there were 263 patients in multimodal group and 137 patients in conventional group. Compared to the conventional group, the multimodal group achieved the higher median EOR (100% versus 94.32%, P < 0.001) and rate of gross total resection (GTR) (73.8% versus 36.5%, P < 0.001) and the lower incidence of permanent language deficit (PLD) (9.5% versus 19.7%, P = 0.004). The multimodal group achieved the longer median PFS (16.8 versus 10.3 months, P < 0.001) and OS (23.7 versus 15.7 months, P < 0.001) than the conventional group. The multimodal group achieved a higher rate of GTR than the cohorts in previous multimodal studies under GA and AC (73.8% versus 55.7% [95%CI 32.0-79.3%] versus 53.4% [35.5-71.2%]). The multimodal group had a lower incidence of PLD than the cohorts in previous multimodal studies under GA (9.5% versus 14.0% [5.8-22.1%]) and our incidence of PLD was a little higher than that of previous multimodal studies under AC (9.5% versus 7.5% [3.7-11.2%]). Our multimodal group also achieved a relative longer survival than previous studies. CONCLUSIONS Surgery assisted by multimodal techniques can achieve maximal safe resection for HGILAs under GA. Further prospective studies are needed to compare GA with AC for HGILAs.

Abstract
Purpose To establish a predictive model to predict the occurrence of language deficit for patients after surgery of glioma involving language areas (GILAs) under general anesthesia (GA). Methods Patients with GILAs were retrospectively collected in our center between January 2009 and December 2020. Clinical variables (age, sex, aphasia quotient [AQ], seizures and KPS), tumor-related variables (recurrent tumor or not, volume, language cortices invaded or not, shortest distance to language areas [SDLA], supplementary motor area or premotor area [SMA/PMA] involved or not and WHO grade) and intraoperative multimodal techniques (used or not) were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis to identify their association with temporary or permanent language deficits (TLD/PLD). The predictive model was established according to the identified significant variables. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the accuracy of the predictive model. Results Among 530 patients with GILAs, 498 patients and 441 patients were eligible to assess TLD and PLD respectively. The multimodal group had the higher EOR and rate of GTR than conventional group. The incidence of PLD was 13.4% in multimodal group, which was much lower than that (27.6%, P<0.001) in conventional group. Three factors were associated with TLD, including SDLA (OR=0.85, P<0.001), preoperative AQ (OR=1.04, P<0.001) and multimodal techniques used (OR=0.41, P<0.001). Four factors were associated with PLD, including SDLA (OR=0.83, P=0.001), SMA/PMA involved (OR=3.04, P=0.007), preoperative AQ (OR=1.03, P=0.002) and multimodal techniques used (OR=0.35, P<0.001). The optimal shortest distance thresholds in detecting the occurrence of TLD/PLD were 1.5 and 4mm respectively. The optimal AQ thresholds in detecting the occurrence of TLD/PLD were 52 and 61 respectively. The cutoff values of the predictive probability for TLD/PLD were 23.7% and 16.1%. The area under ROC curve of predictive models for TLD and PLD were 0.70 (95%CI: 0.65-0.75) and 0.72 (95%CI: 0.66-0.79) respectively. Conclusion The use of multimodal techniques can reduce the risk of postoperative TLD/PLD after removing GILAs under general anesthesia. The established predictive model based on clinical variables can predict the probability of occurrence of TLD and PLD, and it had a moderate predictive accuracy.

Abstract
Objective Awake craniotomy with intraoperative brain functional mapping effectively reduces the potential risk of neurological deficits in patients with glioma invading the eloquent areas. However, glioma patients frequently present with impaired neurocognitive function. The present study aimed to investigate the neurocognitive and functional outcomes of glioma patients after awake brain mapping and assess the experience of a tertiary neurosurgical center in China over eight years. Methods This retrospective study included 80 patients who underwent awake brain mapping for gliomas invading the eloquent cortex between January 2013 and December 2021. Clinical and surgical factors, such as the extent of resection (EOR), perioperative Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), were evaluated. We also used the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to assess the neurocognitive status changes. Results The most frequently observed location of glioma was the frontal lobe (33/80, 41.25%), whereas the tumor primarily invaded the language-related cortex (36/80, 45%). Most patients had supratotal resection (11/80, 13.75%) and total resection (45/80, 56.25%). The median PFS was 43.2 months, and the median OS was 48.9 months in our cohort. The transient (less than seven days) neurological deficit rate was 17.5%, whereas the rate of persistent deficit (lasting for three months) was 15%. At three months of follow-up, most patients (72/80, 90%) had KPS scores > 80. Meanwhile, compared to the preoperative baseline tests, the changes in MoCA scores presented significant improvements at discharge and three months follow-up tests. Conclusion Awake brain mapping is a feasible and safe method for treating glioma invading the eloquent cortex, with the benefit of minimizing neurological deficits, increasing EOR, and extending survival time. The results of MoCA test indicated that brain mapping plays a critical role in preserving neurocognitive function during tumor resection.

Prognostic differences and implications on treatment strategies between butterfly glioblastoma and glioblastoma with unilateral corpus callosum infiltration. Sci Rep 2022; 12:19208. [PMID: 36357498 PMCID: PMC9649706 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-23794-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Approximately 25% of glioblastomas show at diagnosis a corpus callosum infiltration, which is associated with poor prognosis. The extent of corpus callosum involvement, however, ranges from partial unilateral to complete bilateral infiltration. The role of surgery in glioblastoma with corpus callosum involvement is controversial. In this study, we aimed to examine prognostic differences between glioblastoma with unilateral and glioblastoma with bilateral corpus callosum infiltration, and to evaluate possible treatment strategy implications. Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma from 2010 to 2019 were included. Corpus callosum infiltration was assessed in contrast-enhanced T1-weighted preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Extent of resection, adjuvant treatments and overall survival were evaluated. Corpus callosum involvement was found in 96 (26.4%) out of 363 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Bilateral corpus callosum infiltration was found in 27 out of 96 patients (28%), and 69 patients had unilateral corpus callosum infiltration. Glioblastoma with corpus callosum affection had significantly lower median overall survival compared to glioblastoma without corpus callosum involvement (9 vs. 11 months, p = 0.02). A subgroup analysis of glioblastoma with unilateral corpus callosum infiltration revealed a significant difference in median overall survival dependent on extent of resection (6.5 without gross total resection vs. 11 months with gross total resection, Log-rank test p = 0.02). Our data confirms a shorter overall survival in glioblastoma subpopulation with corpus callosum involvement, especially for glioblastoma with bilateral corpus callosum infiltration. However, patients with partial corpus callosum infiltration undergoing gross total resection exhibited a significant survival benefit compared to their counterparts without gross total resection. Whenever reasonably achievable gross total resection should be considered as an integral part of the treatment strategy in glioblastoma with partial corpus callosum infiltration.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. Prognosis evaluation is of great significance in guiding individualized treatment and monitoring of GBM. By integrating different prognostic variables, nomograms simplify the statistical risk prediction model into numerical estimates for death or recurrence, and are hence widely applied in prognosis prediction. In the past two decades, the application of high-throughput profiling technology and the establishment of TCGA database and other public data deposits have provided opportunities to identify cancer-related molecules and prognostic biomarkers. As a result, both molecular features and clinical characteristics of cancer have been reported to be the key factors in nomogram model construction. This article comprehensively reviewed 35 studies of GBM nomograms, analyzed the present situation of GBM nomograms, and discussed the role and significance of nomograms in personalized risk assessment and clinical treatment decision-making. To facilitate the application of nomograms in the prognostic prediction of GBM patients, a website has been established for the online access of nomograms based on the studies of this review, which is called Consensus Nomogram Spectrum for Glioblastoma (CNSgbm) and is accessible through https://bioinfo.henu.edu.cn/nom/NomList.jsp.

Gliomas Infiltrating the Corpus Callosum: A Systematic Review of the Literature. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:2507. [PMID: 35626112 PMCID: PMC9139932 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14102507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Gliomas infiltrating the corpus callosum (G-I-CC) majorly impact patient quality-of-life, but maximally safe tumor resection is challenging. We systematically reviewed the literature on G-I-CC. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were searched following the PRISMA guidelines to include studies of patients with G-I-CC. Clinicopathological features, treatments, and outcomes were analyzed. Results: We included 52 studies comprising 683 patients. Most patients experienced headache (33%), cognitive decline (18.7%), and seizures (17.7%). Tumors mostly infiltrated the corpus callosum genu (44.2%) with bilateral extension (85.4%) into frontal (68.3%) or parietal (8.9%) lobes. Most G-I-CC were glioblastomas (84.5%) with IDH-wildtype (84.9%) and unmethylated MGMT promoter (53.5%). Resection (76.7%) was preferred over biopsy (23.3%), mostly gross-total (33.8%) and subtotal (32.5%). The tumor-infiltrated corpus callosum was resected in 57.8% of cases. Radiation was delivered in 65.8% of patients and temozolomide in 68.3%. Median follow-up was 12 months (range, 0.1−116). In total, 142 patients (31.8%) experienced post-surgical complications, including transient supplementary motor area syndrome (5.1%) and persistent motor deficits (4.3%) or abulia (2.5%). Post-treatment symptom improvement was reported in 42.9% of patients. No differences in rates of complications (p = 0.231) and symptom improvement (p = 0.375) were found in cases with resected versus preserved corpus callosum. Recurrences occurred in 40.9% of cases, with median progression-free survival of 9 months (0.1−72). Median overall survival was 10.7 months (range, 0.1−116), significantly longer in low-grade tumors (p = 0.013) and after resection (p < 0.001), especially gross-total (p = 0.041) in patients with high-grade tumors. Conclusions: G-I-CC show clinicopathological patterns comparable to other more frequent gliomas. Maximally safe resection significantly improves survival with low rates of persistent complications.
