The Impact of Lateral Ventricular Opening in the Resection of Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas: A Single Center Experience. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1574. [PMID: 38672655 PMCID: PMC11049264 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16081574] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Given the importance of maximizing resection for prognosis in patients with HGG and the potential risks associated with ventricle opening, this study aimed to assess the actual increase in post-surgical complications related to lateral ventricle opening and its influence on OS and PFS. A retrospective study was conducted on newly diagnosed HGG, dividing the patients into two groups according to whether the lateral ventricle was opened (69 patients) or not opened (311 patients). PFS, OS, subependymal dissemination, distant parenchymal recurrences, the development of hydrocephalus and CSF leak were considered outcome measures. A cohort of 380 patients (154 females (40.5%) and 226 males (59.5%)) was involved in the study (median age 61 years). The PFS averaged 10.9 months (±13.3 SD), and OS averaged 16.6 months (± 16.3 SD). Among complications, subependymal dissemination was registered in 15 cases (3.9%), multifocal and multicentric progression in 56 cases (14.7%), leptomeningeal dissemination in 12 (3.2%) and hydrocephalus in 8 (2.1%). These occurrences could not be clearly justified by ventricular opening. The act of opening the lateral ventricles itself does not carry an elevated risk of dissemination, hydrocephalus or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Therefore, if necessary, it should be pursued to achieve radical removal of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We assessed the impact of ventricular opening on postoperative complications and survival of carmustine wafer implantation during surgery of newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastomas, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype in adults. METHODS We performed an observational, retrospective, single-center cohort study at a tertiary surgical neuro-oncological center between January 2006 and December 2021. RESULTS One hundred ninety-four patients who benefited from a first-line surgical resection with carmustine wafer implantation were included. Seventy patients (36.1%) had a ventricular opening. We showed that ventricular opening (1) did not increase overall postoperative complication rates (P = .201); (2) did not worsen the early postoperative Karnofsky Performance Status score (P = .068); (3) did not increase the time interval from surgery to adjuvant oncological treatment (P = .458); (4) did not affect the completion of the standard radiochemotherapy protocol (P = .164); (5) did not affect progression-free survival (P = .059); and (6) did not affect overall survival (P = .142). CONCLUSION In this study, ventricular opening during first-line surgical resection did not affect the survival and postoperative complications after use of carmustine wafer implantation in adult patients with a newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. This warrants a prospective and multicentric study to clearly assess the impact of the ventricular opening after carmustine wafer implantation in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype.

Defining subventricular zone involvement to predict the survival of patients in isocitrate dehydrogenase-wild type glioblastoma: validation in a prospective registry. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:6448-6458. [PMID: 37060448 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09625-w] [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: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prognostic value of subventricular zone distance (SVD) is unclear because of different definitions and lack of evaluation of clinical survival models. The aim of this study was to define SVD and evaluate its prognostic value in a survival nomogram for glioblastoma. METHODS This retrospective study included 158 (SVD biomarker) from historical glioblastoma patients and 187 (survival modeling) with IDH-wild type glioblastoma from a prospective registry (NCT02619890). SVD was assessed by two radiologists: definition 1, the distance between the tumor edge to subventricular zone (SVZ); definition 2, the distance between the tumor centroid to SVZ; definition 3, enhancement at the ventricular wall. The associations between SVD and overall survival (OS) were evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Performance of an updated SVD survival model was compared with that of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0525 nomogram. RESULTS SVD according to both definition 1 (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94-0.99; p = .011) and definition 2 (HR: 0.96, 0.94-0.98, p < .001) was adversely associated with OS. Definition 1 was adversely associated with PFS (HR: 0.96, 0.94-0.99, p = .008) and showed the highest reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.90). The SVD-updated model showed similar to better performance than the RTOG model for predicting OS of up to 3 years (AUC: 0.735-0.738 vs. 0.687-0.708), with higher time-dependent specificity for 1-year (89.9% vs. 70.6%) and 3-year OS (93.3% vs. 80.0%). CONCLUSION SVZ distance is an independent adverse prognostic factor in patients with IDH-wild type glioblastoma. Updating the survival model with SVZ provides better time-dependent specificity and reproducibility. KEY POINTS • Subventricular zone distance (SVD) measurement from tumor edge showed high reproducibility. • Longer SVD was independently associated with longer overall survival. • Adding SVD improved time-dependent specificity for survival model in a prospective registry.

Increase in serum vimentin levels in patients with glioma and its correlation with prognosis of patients with glioblastoma. Neurosurg Rev 2023; 46:202. [PMID: 37584729 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02112-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
Early diagnosis of glioma is of great value to improve prognosis. We focused on serum vimentin levels as a useful biomarker for preoperative diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether serum vimentin levels in patients with glioma are significantly higher than those of healthy adult volunteer and whether the serum vimentin level is associated with overall survival (OS) in patients with glioblastoma (GBM). This study included 52 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed glioma and a control group of 13 healthy adult volunteers. We measured serum vimentin levels in blood samples obtained from patients with glioma preoperatively and a control group. Furthermore, we investigated the correlation between serum vimentin levels and OS in patients with GBM. The serum vimentin levels of patients with glioma were significantly higher than those of the control group. The serum vimentin level of 2.9 ng/ml was the optimal value for differentiating patients with glioma from the control group with a sensitivity of 92.3% and specificity of 88.5%. The serum vimentin levels correlated significantly with immunoreactivity for survivin. In 27 patients with GBM, serum vimentin levels (cutoff value, median value 53.3 ng/ml) correlated with OS in univariate and multivariate analyses. Our study revealed that serum vimentin levels of patients with glioma are significantly higher than those of the control group. Therefore, we believe that serum vimentin level might be a useful and practical biomarker for preoperative diagnosis of glioma. Furthermore, high serum vimentin levels correlated significantly with shorter OS in patients with GBM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In glioblastoma (GBM) patients, controlling the microenvironment around the tumor using various treatment modalities, including surgical intervention, is essential in determining the outcome of treatment. This study was conducted to elucidate whether recurrence patterns differ according to the extent of resection (EOR) and whether this difference affects prognosis. METHODS This single-center study included 358 eligible patients with histologically confirmed isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wild-type GBM from November 1, 2005, to December 31, 2018. Patients were assigned to one of three separate groups according to EOR: supratotal resection (SupTR), gross-total resection (GTR), and subtotal resection (STR) groups. The patterns of recurrence were classified as local, marginal, and distant based on the range of radiation. The relationship between EOR and recurrence pattern was statistically analyzed. RESULTS Observed tumor recurrence rates for each group were as follows: SupTR group, 63.4%; GTR group, 75.3%; and STR group, 80.5% (p = 0.072). Statistically significant differences in patterns of recurrences among groups were observed with respect to local recurrence (SupTR, 57.7%; GTR, 76.0%; STR, 82.8%; p = 0.036) and distant recurrence (SupTR, 50.0%; GTR, 30.1%; STR, 23.2%; p = 0.028). Marginal recurrence showed no statistical difference between groups. Both overall survival and progression-free survival were significantly increased in the SupTR group compared with the STR and GTR groups (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the authors investigated the association between EOR and patterns of recurrence in patients with IDH-wild-type GBM. The findings not only show that recurrence patterns differ according to EOR but also provide clinical evidence supporting the hypothesized mechanism by which distant recurrence occurs.

Ventricle wall resection contributes to supramaximal resection and prognosis in SVZ-involved frontal gliomas: A single center retrospective study. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2021; 211:107015. [PMID: 34775256 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2021.107015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Frontal glioma frequently invaded the subventricular zone (SVZ), which existed glioma stem cells and might be involved in the development of primary and recurrent gliomas. We attempted to identify whether ventricle wall resection contributed to the maximal extent of resection (EOR) and increased the patient's survival during frontal glioma resection. METHODS A total of 151 adult patients with primary SVZ-involved frontal gliomas were obtained between January 2012 and December 2018. We analyzed clinical data, EOR, complications and survival profiles between the ventricle wall group and the ventricle intact/opening group. RESULTS Applying ventricle wall removal had similar effect on the improvement of neurological function compared to applying ventricle intact/opening and did not increase the incidence of new neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, and ependymal dissemination in SVZ-involved frontal gliomas. A positive correlation was identified between EOR and the ventricle wall handling (r = 0.487, P < 0.001), which indicated that ventricle wall resection could contribute to achieve supramaximal resection. Applying supramaximal resection and ventricle wall resection could significantly prolong overall survival and progression free survival. Ventricle wall resection could be regarded as an independent prognostic indicator for both overall survival and progression free survival in patients with SVZ-involved frontal gliomas. CONCLUSIONS Ventricle wall resection in SVZ-involved frontal gliomas could contribute to achieve supramaximal resection and could significantly prolong overall survival and progression free survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The authors previously showed that combined evaluation of changes in intraoperative voluntary movement (IVM) during awake craniotomy and transcortical motor evoked potentials (MEPs) was useful for predicting postoperative motor function in 30 patients with precentral gyrus glioma. However, the validity of the previous report is limited to precentral gyrus gliomas. Therefore, the current study aimed to validate whether the combined findings of IVM during awake craniotomy and transcortical MEPs were useful for predicting postoperative motor function of patients with a glioma within or close to motor-related areas and not limited to the precentral gyrus. METHODS The authors included 95 patients with gliomas within or close to motor-related areas who were treated between April 2000 and May 2020. All tumors were resected with IVM monitoring during awake craniotomy and transcortical MEP monitoring. Postoperative motor function was classified into four categories: "no change" or "declined," the latter of which was further categorization as "mild," "moderate," or "severe." The authors defined moderate and severe deficits as those that impact daily life. RESULTS Motor function 6 months after surgery was classified as no change in 71 patients, mild in 18, moderate in 5, and severe in 1. Motor function at 6 months after surgery significantly correlated with IVM (p < 0.0001), transcortical MEPs (decline ≤ or > 50%) (p < 0.0001), age, preoperative motor dysfunction, extent of resection, and ischemic change on postoperative MRI. Thirty-two patients with no change in IVM showed no change in motor function at 6 months after surgery. Five of 34 patients (15%) with a decline in IVM and a decline in MEPs ≤ 50% had motor dysfunction with mild deficits 6 months after surgery. Furthermore, 19 of 23 patients (83%) with a decline in IVM and decline in MEPs > 50% had a decline in motor function, including 13 patients with mild, 5 with moderate, and 1 with severe deficits. Six patients with moderate or severe deficits had the lowest MEP values, at < 100 µV. CONCLUSIONS This study validated the utility of combined application of IVM during awake craniotomy and transcortical MEP monitoring to predict motor function at 6 months after surgery in patients with a glioma within or close to motor-related areas, not limited to the precentral gyrus. The authors also validated the usefulness of the cutoff value, 100 µV, in MEP monitoring.

Abstract
Glioma patients were frequently associated with mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus (MTMS), which reflects mucosal inflammation. We suspected that MTMS is associated with impaired mucosal immune response and correlated with dysfunction in the anti-tumor immune response in diffuse glioma patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether the occurrence of diffuse glioma is correlated with MTMS compared to meningioma and control groups. Furthermore, we investigated whether MTMS is associated with overall survival (OS) in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. This study included 343 patients with newly diagnosed diffuse gliomas and 218 patients with meningioma treated at our institution between 2015 and 2018. As control, 201 patients with headache who did not have an intracranial organic lesion were included. Using three-axis MR images, we evaluated the incidence of MTMS in all patients. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between MTMS and OS. The incidence of MTMS in patients with diffuse glioma was significantly higher than that in the meningioma (p < .0001) and control groups (p < .0001). In 128 patients with GBM, MTMS status correlated significantly with OS (p = .0064). We revealed that the incidence of MTMS is significantly associated with patients with diffuse glioma. This suggests that MTMS is indirectly involved in the occurrence of diffuse gliomas. Furthermore, the presence of MTMS correlated significantly with shorter OS in GBM patients, indicating that MTMS is involved in suppression of anti-tumor immune response. Preoperative recognition of MTMS might be useful for improving the clinical management of GBM patients.

Abstract
Both in adult and children, high-grade gliomas (WHO grades III and IV) account for a high proportion of death due to cancer. This poor prognosis is a direct consequence of tumor recurrences occurring within few months despite a multimodal therapy consisting of a surgical resection followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There is increasing evidence that glioma stem cells (GSCs) contribute to tumor recurrences. In fact, GSCs can migrate out of the tumor mass and reach the subventricular zone (SVZ), a neurogenic niche persisting after birth. Once nested in the SVZ, GSCs can escape a surgical intervention and resist to treatments. The present review will define GSCs and describe their similarities with neural stem cells, residents of the SVZ. The architectural organization of the SVZ will be described both for humans and rodents. The migratory routes taken by GSCs to reach the SVZ and the signaling pathways involved in their migration will also be described hereafter. In addition, we will debate the advantages of the microenvironment provided by the SVZ for GSCs and how this could contribute to tumor recurrences. Finally, we will discuss the clinical relevance of the SVZ in adult GBM and pediatric HGG and the therapeutic advantages of targeting that neurogenic region in both clinical situations.
