Post-Surgical Prognosis of Patients with Pineoblastoma: A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Analysis with Trends over Time. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3374. [PMID: 37444483 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133374] [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: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Most of the literature on pineoblastoma consists of case reports and single-institution series. The goal of this systematic review and individual patient data (IPD) analysis was to summarize the existing literature, identify factors associated with overall survival (OS), and provide a contemporary update on prognosis for patients with pineoblastoma. Forty-four studies were identified with 298 patients having IPD. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to report survival outcomes based on age, tumor metastases, extent of resection (EOR), adjuvant therapy, and publication year. Cox regression was performed to identify independent predictors of time to mortality. Multivariable recursive partitioning analysis was used to identify the most important subgroups associated with mortality. Patients were classified based on publication year before and after the last systematic review on this topic (pre-2012 and 2012 onwards) and compared using univariate and multivariable analyses. This study demonstrates that EOR less-than-gross total resection, metastatic presentation, adjuvant chemotherapy without radiation, and tumor presentation in children less than three years old are associated with poorer prognosis. Since 2012, the 5-year actuarial OS has improved from 32.8% to 56.1%, which remained significant even after accounting for EOR, age, and adjuvant therapy. Pineoblastoma remains a severe rare disease, but survival outcomes are improving.

Effect of early radiotherapy initiation and high-dose chemotherapy on the prognosis of pediatric atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors in different age groups. J Neurooncol 2020; 147:619-631. [PMID: 32222933 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-020-03456-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal treatment strategy for pediatric atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is inconclusive. This study evaluated the prognostic value of early radiotherapy (RT) and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue (HDC/ASCR) in pediatric ATRT. METHODS This pooled analysis included ATRT patients treated at our institution and from other studies who were identified by a search of the PubMed electronic database. The effect of patient demographics and treatment profiles on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Cox regression. RESULTS Overall, 34 patients from our institution and 436 patients from 35 published studies were included. In multivariable analysis, patients with gross total resection (GTR), early RT (time to RT interval < 2 months), and HDC/ASCR had both better PFS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.46, p[Formula: see text] 0.001; HR 0.64, p = 0.011; and HR 0.51, p = 0.005, respectively] and OS (HR 0.55, p = 0.002; HR 0.48, p = 0.004; and HR 0.42, p < 0.001, respectively). For patients aged < 3 years, both RT and HDC/ASCR were significant favorable factors for PFS (HR 0.32 and 0.46, respectively) and OS (HR 0.40 and 0.36, respectively), while early RT was not prognostic. For patients aged ≥ 3 years, early RT was significantly associated with better PFS (HR 0.51) and HDC/ASCR did not affect PFS, and neither was related to OS. CONCLUSION Both early RT initiation and HDC/ASCR were important components in the treatment of pediatric ATRT. However, the optimal treatment strategies might differ by age.
