Prognostic significance of MRI contrast enhancement in newly diagnosed glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype according to WHO 2021 classification. J Neurooncol 2024; 169:445-455. [PMID: 38913230 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-024-04747-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Contrast enhancement in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype is common but not systematic. In the era of the WHO 2021 Classification of CNS Tumors, the prognostic impact of a contrast enhancement and the pattern of contrast enhancement is not clearly elucidated. METHODS We performed an observational, retrospective, single-centre cohort study at a tertiary neurosurgical oncology centre (January 2006 - December 2022). We screened adult patients with a newly-diagnosed glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype in order to assess the prognosis role of the contrast enhancement and the pattern of contrast enhancement. RESULTS We included 1149 glioblastomas, IDH-wildtype: 26 (2.3%) had a no contrast enhancement, 45 (4.0%) had a faint and patchy contrast enhancement, 118 (10.5%) had a nodular contrast enhancement, and 960 (85.5%) had a ring-like contrast enhancement. Overall survival was longer in non-contrast enhanced glioblastomas (26.7 months) than in contrast enhanced glioblastomas (10.9 months) (p < 0.001). In contrast enhanced glioblastomas, a ring-like pattern was associated with shorter overall survival than in faint and patchy and nodular patterns (10.0 months versus 13.0 months, respectively) (p = 0.033). Whatever the presence of a contrast enhancement and the pattern of contrast enhancement, surgical resection was an independent predictor of longer overall survival, while age ≥ 70 years, preoperative KPS score < 70, tumour volume ≥ 30cm3, and postoperative residual contrast enhancement were independent predictors of shorter overall survival. CONCLUSION A contrast enhancement is present in the majority (97.7%) of glioblastomas, IDH-wildtype and, regardless of the pattern, is associated with a shorter overall survival. The ring-like pattern of contrast enhancement is typical in glioblastomas, IDH-wildtype (85.5%) and remains an independent predictor of shorter overall survival compared to other patterns (faint and patchy and nodular).

Diffusion histogram profiles predict molecular features of grade 4 in histologically lower-grade adult diffuse gliomas following WHO classification 2021. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:1367-1375. [PMID: 37581661 PMCID: PMC10853353 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10071-x] [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: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the latest World Health Organization classification 2021, grade 4 adult diffuse gliomas can be diagnosed with several molecular features even without histological evidence of necrosis or microvascular proliferation. We aimed to explore whole tumor histogram-derived apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram profiles for differentiating between the presence (Mol-4) and absence (Mol-2/3) of grade 4 molecular features in histologically lower-grade gliomas. METHODS Between June 2019 and October 2022, 184 adult patients with diffuse gliomas underwent MRI. After excluding 121 patients, 18 (median age, 64.5 [range, 37-84 years]) Mol-4 and 45 (median 40 [range, 18-73] years) Mol-2/3 patients with histologically lower-grade gliomas were enrolled. Whole tumor volume-of-interest-derived ADC histogram profiles were calculated and compared between the two groups. Stepwise logistic regression analysis with Akaike's information criterion using the ADC histogram profiles with p values < 0.01 and age at diagnosis was used to identify independent variables for predicting the Mol-4 group. RESULTS The 90th percentile (p < 0.001), median (p < 0.001), mean (p < 0.001), 10th percentile (p = 0.014), and entropy (p < 0.001) of normalized ADC were lower, and kurtosis (p < 0.001) and skewness (p = 0.046) were higher in the Mol-4 group than in the Mol-2/3 group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the entropy of normalized ADC and age at diagnosis were independent predictive parameters for the Mol-4 group with an area under the curve of 0.92. CONCLUSION ADC histogram profiles may be promising preoperative imaging biomarkers to predict molecular grade 4 among histologically lower-grade adult diffuse gliomas. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This study highlighted the diagnostic usefulness of ADC histogram profiles to differentiate histologically lower grade adult diffuse gliomas with the presence of molecular grade 4 features and those without. KEY POINTS • ADC histogram profiles to predict molecular CNS WHO grade 4 status among histologically lower-grade adult diffuse gliomas were evaluated. • Entropy of ADC and age were independent predictive parameters for molecular grade 4 status. • ADC histogram analysis is useful for predicting molecular grade 4 among histologically lower-grade gliomas.

Evaluation of MTAP and p16 immunohistochemical deficiency as surrogate marker for CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion in gliomas. Pathology 2023; 55:466-477. [PMID: 37032198 DOI: 10.1016/j.pathol.2023.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
Homozygous deletion (HD) of the CDKN2A/B locus has emerged as an unfavourable prognostic marker in diffuse gliomas, both IDH-mutant and IDH-wild-type. Testing for CDKN2A/B deletions can be performed by a variety of approaches, including copy number variation (CNV) analysis based on gene array analysis, next generation sequencing (NGS) or fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), but questions remain regarding the accuracy of testing modalities. In this study, we assessed: (1) the utility of S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) and cellular tumour suppressor protein pl61NK4a (p16) immunostainings as surrogate markers for CDKN2A/B HD in gliomas, and (2) the prognostic value of MTAP, across different histological tumour grades and IDH mutation status. One hundred consecutive cases of diffuse and circumscribed gliomas (Cohort 1) were collected, in order to correlate MTAP and p16 expression with the CDKN2A/B status in the CNV plot of each tumour. IDH1 R132H, ATRX and MTAP immunohistochemistry was performed on next generation tissue microarrays (ngTMAs) of 251 diffuse gliomas (Cohort 2) for implementing survival analysis. Complete loss of MTAP and p16 by immunohistochemistry was 100% and 90% sensitive as well as 97% and 89% specific for CDKN2A/B HD, respectively, as identified on CNV plot. Only two cases (2/100) with MTAP and p16 loss of expression did not demonstrate CDKN2A/B HD in CNV plot; however, FISH analysis confirmed the HD for CDKN2A/B. Moreover, MTAP deficiency was associated with shortened survival in IDH-mutant astrocytomas (n=75; median survival 61 vs 137 months; p<0.0001), IDH-mutant oligodendrogliomas (n=59; median survival 41 vs 147 months; p<0.0001) and IDH-wild-type gliomas (n=117; median survival 13 vs 16 months; p=0.011). In conclusion, MTAP immunostaining is an important complement for diagnostic work-up of gliomas, because of its excellent correlation with CDKN2A/B status, robustness, rapid turnaround time and low costs, and provides significant prognostic value in IDH-mutant astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas, while p16 should be used cautiously.

Clinico-pathological and epigenetic heterogeneity of diffuse gliomas with FGFR3::TACC3 fusion. Acta Neuropathol Commun 2023; 11:14. [PMID: 36647073 PMCID: PMC9843943 DOI: 10.1186/s40478-023-01506-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gliomas with FGFR3::TACC3 fusion mainly occur in adults, display pathological features of glioblastomas (GB) and are usually classified as glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. However, cases demonstrating pathological features of low-grade glioma (LGG) lead to difficulties in classification and clinical management. We report a series of 8 GB and 14 LGG with FGFR3:TACC3 fusion in order to better characterize them. METHODS Centralized pathological examination, search for TERT promoter mutation and DNA-methylation profiling were performed in all cases. Search for prognostic factors was done by the Kaplan-Meir method. RESULTS TERT promoter mutation was recorded in all GB and 6/14 LGG. Among the 7 cases with a methylation score > 0.9 in the classifier (v12.5), 2 were classified as glioblastoma, 4 as ganglioglioma (GG) and 1 as dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET). t-SNE analysis showed that the 22 cases clustered into three groups: one included 12 cases close to glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype methylation class (MC), 5 cases each clustered with GG or DNET MC but none with PLNTY MC. Unsupervised clustering analysis revealed four groups, two of them being clearly distinct: 5 cases shared age (< 40), pathological features of LGG, lack of TERT promoter mutation, FGFR3(Exon 17)::TACC3(Exon 10) fusion type and LGG MC. In contrast, 4 cases shared age (> 40), pathological features of glioblastoma, and were TERT-mutated. Relevant factors associated with a better prognosis were age < 40 and lack of TERT promoter mutation. CONCLUSION Among gliomas with FGFR3::TACC3 fusion, age, TERT promoter mutation, pathological features, DNA-methylation profiling and fusion subtype are of interest to determine patients' risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proton beam radiotherapy (PRT) has been demonstrated to improve neurocognitive sequelae particularly. Nevertheless, following PRT, increased rates of radiation-induced contrast enhancements (RICE) are feared. How safe and effective is PRT for IDH-mutated glioma WHO grade 2 and 3? METHODS We analyzed 194 patients diagnosed with IDH-mutated WHO grade 2 (n = 128) and WHO grade 3 (n = 66) glioma who were treated with PRT from 2010 to 2020. Serial clinical and imaging follow-up was performed for a median of 5.1 years. RESULTS For WHO grade 2, 61% were astrocytoma and 39% oligodendroglioma while for WHO grade 3, 55% were astrocytoma and 45% oligodendroglioma. Median dose for IDH-mutated glioma was 54 Gy(RBE) [range 50.4-60 Gy(RBE)] for WHO grade 2 and 60 Gy(RBE) [range 54-60 Gy(RBE)] for WHO grade 3. Five year overall survival was 85% in patients with WHO grade 2 and 67% in patients with WHO grade 3 tumors. Overall RICE risk was 25%, being higher in patients with WHO grade 2 (29%) versus in patients with WHO grade 3 (17%, p = 0.13). RICE risk increased independent of tumor characteristics with older age (p = 0.017). Overall RICE was symptomatic in 31% of patients with corresponding CTCAE grades as follows: 80% grade 1, 7% grade 2, 13% grade 3, and 0% grade 3 + . Overall need for RICE-directed therapy was 35%. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate the effectiveness of PRT for IDH-mutated glioma WHO grade 2 and 3. The RICE risk differs with WHO grading and is higher in older patients with IDH-mutated Glioma WHO grade 2 and 3.

Iatrogenic Influence on Prognosis of Radiation-Induced Contrast Enhancements in Patients with Glioma WHO 1-3 following Photon and Proton Radiotherapy. Radiother Oncol 2022; 175:133-143. [PMID: 36041565 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2022.08.025] [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: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiation-induced contrast enhancement (RICE) is a common side effect following radiotherapy for glioma, but both diagnosis and handling are challenging. Due to the potential risks associated with RICE and its challenges in differentiating RICE from tumor progression, it is critical to better understand how RICE prognosis depends on iatrogenic influence. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 99 patients diagnosed with RICE who were previously treated with either photon or proton therapy for World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1-3 primary gliomas. Post-treatment brain MRI-based volumetric analysis and clinical data collection was performed at multiple time points. RESULTS The most common histologic subtypes were astrocytoma (50%) and oligodendroglioma (46%). In 67%, it was graded WHO grade 2 and in 86% an IDH mutation was present. RICE first occurred after 16 months (range: 1 - 160) in median. At initial RICE occurrence, 39% were misinterpreted as tumor progression. A tumor-specific therapy including chemotherapy or re-irradiation led to a RICE size progression in 86% and 92% of cases, respectively and RICE symptom progression in 57% and 65% of cases, respectively. A RICE-specific therapy such as corticosteroids or Bevacizumab for larger or symptomatic RICE led to a RICE size regression in 81% of cases with symptom stability or regression in 62% of cases. CONCLUSIONS While with chemotherapy and re-irradiation a RICE progression was frequently observed, anti-edematous or anti-VEGF treatment frequently went along with a RICE regression. For RICE, correct diagnosis and treatment decisions are challenging and critical and should be made interdisciplinarily.

Radiation-induced contrast enhancement following proton radiotherapy for low-grade glioma depends on tumor characteristics and is rarer in children than adults. Radiother Oncol 2022; 172:54-64. [PMID: 35568281 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2022.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Proton beam radiotherapy (PRT) is used in the treatment of low-grade glioma (LGG) to mitigate long-term sequelae. Following PRT, increased rates of radiation-induced contrast enhancements (RICE) are suspected but poorly understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed consecutive 227 patients (42 children and 185 adults) treated with PRT (54Gy RBE) for LGG from 2010 to 2020 and followed with serial clinical exams and magnetic resonance imaging for in median 5.6 years. RESULTS Tumors were graded WHO 1 in a minority (n = 22, 12%) of adults, but a majority of children (n = 29, 69%). In contrast, tumors were graded WHO 2 in the majority (n = 160, 87%) of adults and a minority of children (n = 10, 24%). Five-year overall survival following PRT was 81% in adults and 91% in children. The risk of RICE was 5-fold more frequent in adults (25%) versus children (5%) (p = 0.0043). In children and adults, RICE were symptomatic in 50% and 55% (n=1 and 26) of cases with CTCAE grade 0 in 47% (n=23), grade 1 in 25% (n=12), 0% grade 2 (n=0) and 29% grade 3 (n=14), respectively. In adults, RICE risk was associated to WHO grading (8% in WHO grade 1 vs. 24% in WHO grade 2, p = 0.026), independent of age (p=0.44) and irradiation dose (p=0.005), but not independent of IDH mutational status. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate effectiveness of PRT for LGG in both children and adults. The RICE risk is lower in children which are a main target group for PRT and differs with WHO grading.

Komori T. Grading of adult diffuse gliomas according to the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. J Transl Med 2022; 102:126-133. [PMID: 34504304 DOI: 10.1038/s41374-021-00667-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 33.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The grading of gliomas based on histological features has been a subject of debate for several decades. A consensus has not yet been reached because of technical limitations and inter-observer variations. While the traditional grading system has failed to stratify the risk of IDH-mutant astrocytoma, canonical histological and proliferative markers may be applicable to the risk stratification of IDH-wild-type astrocytoma. Numerous studies have examined molecular markers in order to obtain more clinically relevant information that will improve the risk stratification of gliomas. The CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion for IDH-mutant astrocytoma and the following three criteria for IDH-wild-type astrocytoma: the concurrent gain of whole chromosome 7 and loss of whole chromosome 10, TERT promoter mutations, and EGFR amplification, were identified as independent molecular markers of the worst clinical outcomes. Therefore, the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System adopted these molecular markers into the revised grading criteria of IDH-mutant and -wild-type astrocytoma, respectively, as a grading system within tumor types. Of note, several recent studies have shown that some low-grade IDH-wild-type astrocytoma lacking both the molecular glioblastoma signature and genetic alterations typical of pediatric-type gliomas may demonstrate a relatively indolent clinical course, suggesting the existence of lower-grade adult IDH-wild-type astrocytoma. In terms of oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant, and 1p/19q codeleted, consistent makers that predict poor outcomes have not yet been identified, and, thus, the current criteria have remained unchanged. Molecular testing to fulfill the revised WHO criteria is, however, not always available worldwide, and in that case, an integrated diagnosis combining all available complementary information is highly recommended. This review discusses controversial issues surrounding legacy grading systems and newly identified potential genetic markers of adult diffuse gliomas and provides perspectives on future grading systems.
