Patterns of intersectional tumor volumes in T2-weighted MRI and 18FFET PET in adult glioma: a prospective, observational study
2024
Overview
Brain tumor volumes as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) do not always spatially overlap with biological tumor volumes (BTV) measured by [
18
F]Fluoroethyltyrosine positron emission tomography ([
18
F]FET PET). We prospectively investigated volumetric patterns based on the extent of tumor volume overlap between the two modalities. Eighty-six patients with newly diagnosed glioma who had undergone MRI and [
18
F]FET PET between 2007 and 2009 were included in this prospective study and (re-)classified according to CNS WHO 2021 (Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System by the World Health Organization). Four different patterns of volume overlap were defined mathematically according to the extent of overlap between MRI-based T2 tumor volume (non-enhancing tumor volume, nCEV) and BTVs. Progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined. Seventy patients were diagnosed with isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype (IDHwt) glioblastoma and 16 with IDH-mutant glioma, respectively. The most common pattern was characterized by a larger non-contrast-enhancing tumor volume (nCEV) that enclosed all or most of the BTV and was observed in 46 patients (54%) (pattern 1). This pattern was more frequent in IDH-mutant gliomas than in IDH-wildtype glioblastoma (81% versus 47%,
p
= 0.02). In multivariate analyses, pattern 1 was associated with prolonged PFS (HR 0.59; 95 CI 0.34-1.0;
p
= 0.05), but not OS (HR 0.66; 95 CI 0.4–1.08;
p
= 0.1). For OS, presence of an IDH mutation (
p
= 0.05) and lower age (
p
= 0.03) were associated with prolonged OS. The spatial relation between nCEV and BTV varies within and between glioma entities. Most frequently, a larger nCEV encases the BTV. Some patients show spatially dissociated nCEVs and BTVs. Not accounting for this phenomenon in surgery or radiotherapy planning might lead to undertreatment.
