An analysis of prognostic factors in a cohort of low-grade gliomas and degree of consistency between RTOG and EORTC scores
2022
Overview
Due to their rarity and heterogeneity and despite the introduction of molecular features in the current WHO classification, clinical criteria such as those from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) are still being used to make treatment decisions in low-grade gliomas (LGG). Patients with diffuse low-grade glioma treated at our institution between 2002 and 2018 were analyzed, retrieving and assessing the degree of consistency between the EORTC and RTOG criteria, as well as the
isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2
(IDH) gene mutational status. Likewise, multivariate analyses were performed to ascertain the superiority of any of the factors over the others. One hundred and two patients were included. The degree of consistency between the RTOG and EORTC criteria was 71.6% (K = 0.426; p = 0.0001). Notably, 51.7% of those assigned to low risk by the EORTC were classified as high risk according to the RTOG classification. In multivariate analysis, only complete resection, age > 40 years, size and IDH mutation status were independently correlated with OS. When the RTOG and EORTC scores were entered into the model, only the EORTC model was independently associated with mortality. The degree of consistency between the EORT and RTOG criteria is low. Therefore, there is a need to integrate clinical-molecular scores to improve treatment decisions in LGG.
