Salvage Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Recurrent WHO Grade 2 and 3 Meningiomas: A Multicenter Study (STORM). Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2024:S0360-3016(24)00515-7. [PMID: 38641234 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the management of grade 2 and 3 meningiomas is not well elucidated. Unfortunately, local recurrence rates are high, and guidelines for management of recurrent disease are lacking. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted STORM (Salvage Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Recurrent WHO Grade 2 and 3 Meningiomas), a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients treated with primary SRS for recurrent grade 2 and 3 meningiomas. METHODS AND MATERIALS Data on patients with recurrent grade 2 and 3 meningioma treated with SRS at first recurrence were retrospectively collected from 8 academic centers in the United States. Patients with multiple lesions at the time of initial diagnosis or more than 2 lesions at the time of first recurrence were excluded from this analysis. Patient demographics and treatment parameters were extracted at time of diagnosis, first recurrence, and second recurrence. Oncologic outcomes, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival, as well as toxicity outcomes, were reported at the patient level. RESULTS From 2000 to 2022, 108 patients were identified (94% grade 2, 6.0% grade 3). A total of 106 patients (98%) had upfront surgical resection (60% gross-total resection) with 18% receiving adjuvant radiation therapy (RT). Median time to first progression was 2.5 years (IQR, 1.34-4.30). At first recurrence, patients were treated with single or fractionated SRS to a median marginal dose of 16 Gy to a maximum of 2 lesions (87% received single-fraction SRS). The median follow-up time after SRS was 2.6 years. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year PFS was 90%, 75%, and 57%, respectively, after treatment with SRS. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival was 97%, 94%, and 92%, respectively. In the multivariable analysis, grade 3 disease (HR, 6.80; 95% CI, 1.61-28.6), male gender (HR, 3.48; 95% CI, 1.47-8.26), and receipt of prior RT (HR, 2.69; 95% CI, 1.23-5.86) were associated with worse PFS. SRS dose and tumor volume were not correlated with progression. Treatment was well tolerated, with a 3.0% incidence of grade 2+ radiation necrosis. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest multicenter study to evaluate salvage SRS in recurrent grade 2 and 3 meningiomas. In this select cohort of patients with primarily grade 2 meningioma with a potentially more favorable natural history of delayed, localized first recurrence amenable to salvage SRS, local control rates and toxicity profiles were favorable, warranting further prospective validation.

A Prospective Registry Study of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Incorporation Into Treatment Planning of Intracranial Meningiomas. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2024; 118:979-985. [PMID: 37871886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The current standard for meningioma treatment planning involves magnetic resonance imaging-based guidance. Somatostatin receptor ligands such as 68Ga-DOTATATE are being explored for meningioma treatment planning due to near-universal expression of somatostatin receptors 1 and 2 in meningioma tissue. We hypothesized that 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)-guided treatment management for patients with meningiomas is safe and effective and can identify which patients benefit most from adjuvant radiation therapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS A single-institution prospective registry study was created for inclusion of patients with intracranial meningiomas who received a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to assist with radiation oncologist decision making. Patients who received a PET scan from January 1, 2018, to February 25, 2022, were eligible for inclusion. RESULTS Of the 60 patients included, 40%, 47%, and 5% had World Health Organization grades 1, 2, and 3 meningiomas, respectively, and 8% (5 patients) had no grade assigned. According to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 0539 criteria, 22%, 72%, and 7% were categorized as high, intermediate, and low risk, respectively. After completing their PET scans, 48 patients, 11 patients, and 1 patient proceeded with radiation therapy, observation, and redo craniotomy, respectively. The median follow-up for the entire cohort was 19.5 months. Of the 3 patients (5%) who experienced local failure between 9.2 and 28.5 months after diagnosis, 2 had PET-avid disease in their postoperative cavity and elected for observation before recurrence, and 1 high-risk patient with multifocal disease experienced local failure 2 years after a second radiation course and multiple previous recurrences. Notably, 5 patients did not have any local PET uptake and were observed; none of these patients experienced recurrence. Only 1 grade 3 toxicity was attributed to PET-guided radiation. CONCLUSIONS This study examined one of the largest known populations of patients with intracranial meningiomas followed by physicians who used 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-guided therapy. Incorporating 68Ga-DOTATATE PET into future trials may assist with clinician decision making and improve patient outcomes.

Postoperative [ 68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT imaging is prognostic for progression-free survival in meningioma WHO grade 1. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2023; 51:206-217. [PMID: 37642702 PMCID: PMC10684417 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-023-06400-3] [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: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Tumor resection represents the first-line treatment for symptomatic meningiomas, and the extent of resection has been shown to be of prognostic importance. Assessment of tumor remnants with somatostatin receptor PET proves to be superior to intraoperative estimation with Simpson grading or MRI. In this preliminary study, we evaluate the prognostic relevance of postoperative PET for progression-free survival in meningiomas. METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis on a prospective patient cohort with resected meningioma WHO grade 1. Patients received postoperative MRI and [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT and were followed regularly with MRI surveillance scans for detection of tumor recurrence/progression. RESULTS We included 46 patients with 49 tumors. The mean age at diagnosis was 57.8 ± 1.7 years with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.7. Local tumor progression occurred in 7/49 patients (14%) after a median follow-up of 52 months. Positive PET was associated with an increased risk for progression (*p = 0.015) and a lower progression-free survival (*p = 0.029), whereas MRI was not. 20 out of 20 patients (100%) with negative PET findings remained recurrence-free. The location of recurrence/progression on MRI was adjacent to regions where postoperative PET indicated tumor remnants in all cases. Gross tumor volumes were higher on PET compared to MRI (*p = 0.032). CONCLUSION Our data show that [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT is highly sensitive in revealing tumor remnants in patients with meningioma WHO grade 1. Negative PET findings were associated with a higher progression-free survival, thus improving surveillance. In patients with tumor remnants, additional PET can optimize adjuvant radiotherapy target planning of surgically resected meningiomas.

Abstract
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for meningioma, the most common primary intracranial tumor, but improvements in meningioma risk stratification are needed and indications for postoperative radiotherapy are controversial. Here we develop a targeted gene expression biomarker that predicts meningioma outcomes and radiotherapy responses. Using a discovery cohort of 173 meningiomas, we developed a 34-gene expression risk score and performed clinical and analytical validation of this biomarker on independent meningiomas from 12 institutions across 3 continents (N = 1,856), including 103 meningiomas from a prospective clinical trial. The gene expression biomarker improved discrimination of outcomes compared with all other systems tested (N = 9) in the clinical validation cohort for local recurrence (5-year area under the curve (AUC) 0.81) and overall survival (5-year AUC 0.80). The increase in AUC compared with the standard of care, World Health Organization 2021 grade, was 0.11 for local recurrence (95% confidence interval 0.07 to 0.17, P < 0.001). The gene expression biomarker identified meningiomas benefiting from postoperative radiotherapy (hazard ratio 0.54, 95% confidence interval 0.37 to 0.78, P = 0.0001) and suggested postoperative management could be refined for 29.8% of patients. In sum, our results identify a targeted gene expression biomarker that improves discrimination of meningioma outcomes, including prediction of postoperative radiotherapy responses.

Abstract
Background Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for meningioma, the most common primary intracranial tumor, but improvements in meningioma risk stratification are needed and current indications for postoperative radiotherapy are controversial. Recent studies have proposed prognostic meningioma classification systems using DNA methylation profiling, copy number variants, DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, histology, or integrated models based on multiple combined features. Targeted gene expression profiling has generated robust biomarkers integrating multiple molecular features for other cancers, but is understudied for meningiomas. Methods Targeted gene expression profiling was performed on 173 meningiomas and an optimized gene expression biomarker (34 genes) and risk score (0 to 1) was developed to predict clinical outcomes. Clinical and analytical validation was performed on independent meningiomas from 12 institutions across 3 continents (N = 1856), including 103 meningiomas from a prospective clinical trial. Gene expression biomarker performance was compared to 9 other classification systems. Results The gene expression biomarker improved discrimination of postoperative meningioma outcomes compared to all other classification systems tested in the independent clinical validation cohort for local recurrence (5-year area under the curve [AUC] 0.81) and overall survival (5-year AUC 0.80). The increase in area under the curve compared to the current standard of care, World Health Organization 2021 grade, was 0.11 for local recurrence (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.07-0.17, P < 0.001). The gene expression biomarker identified meningiomas benefiting from postoperative radiotherapy (hazard ratio 0.54, 95% CI 0.37-0.78, P = 0.0001) and re-classified up to 52.0% meningiomas compared to conventional clinical criteria, suggesting postoperative management could be refined for 29.8% of patients. Conclusions A targeted gene expression biomarker improves discrimination of meningioma outcomes compared to recent classification systems and predicts postoperative radiotherapy responses.

Risk Stratification for Management of Solitary Fibrous Tumor/Hemangiopericytoma of the Central Nervous System. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030876. [PMID: 36765837 PMCID: PMC9913704 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030876] [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: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) of the central nervous system (CNS) is a rare meningeal tumor. Given the absence of prospective or randomized data, there are no standard indications for radiotherapy. Recently, the NRG Oncology and EORTC cooperative groups successfully accrued and completed the first prospective trials evaluating risk-adapted adjuvant radiotherapy strategies for meningiomas. Using a similar framework, we sought to develop prognostic risk categories that may predict the survival benefit associated with radiotherapy, using two large national datasets. METHODS We queried the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases for all newly diagnosed cases of SFT/HPC within the CNS. Risk categories were created, as follows: low risk-grade 1, with any extent of resection (EOR) and grade 2, with gross-total resection; intermediate risk-grade 2, with biopsy/subtotal resection; high risk-grade 3 with any EOR. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to determine the association of risk categories with overall and cause-specific survival. We then determined the association of radiotherapy with overall survival in the NCDB, stratified by risk group. RESULTS We identified 866 and 683 patients from the NCDB and SEER databases who were evaluated, respectively. In the NCDB, the 75% survival times for low- (n = 312), intermediate- (n = 239), and high-risk (n = 315) patients were not reached, 86 months (HR 1.60 (95% CI 1.01-2.55)), and 55 months (HR 2.56 (95% CI 1.68-3.89)), respectively. Our risk categories were validated for overall and cause-specific survival in the SEER dataset. Radiotherapy was associated with improved survival in the high- (HR 0.46 (0.29-0.74)) and intermediate-risk groups (HR 0.52 (0.27-0.99)) but not in the low-risk group (HR 1.26 (0.60-2.65)). The association of radiotherapy with overall survival remained significant in the multivariable analysis for the high-risk group (HR 0.55 (0.34-0.89)) but not for the intermediate-risk group (HR 0.74 (0.38-1.47)). Similar results were observed in a time-dependent landmark sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION Risk stratification based on grade and EOR is prognostic of overall and cause-specific survival for SFT/HPCs of the CNS and performs better than any individual clinical factor. These risk categories appear to predict the survival benefit from radiotherapy, which is limited to the high-risk group and, potentially, the intermediate-risk group. These data may serve as the basis for a prospective study evaluating the management of meningeal SFT/HPCs.

A Review of the Role of Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Immunotherapy in the Management of Primary Central Nervous System Tumors. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10112977. [PMID: 36428546 PMCID: PMC9687865 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10112977] [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: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely used in the management of brain metastases. These therapies are commonly administered concurrently; as SRS may enhance anti-tumor immunity and responsiveness to ICIs. However, the use of ICIs with and without SRS in the management of primary brain tumors remains a controversial topic. Meningiomas are the most common nonmalignant and extra-parenchymal brain tumor, which often respond well to surgery and radiotherapy. However, higher grade meningiomas tend to be resistant to these treatments, and the use of chemotherapy and targeted agents in this setting have yielded disappointing results. Thus, there is heightened interest in the utilization of ICIs. Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary intraparenchymal brain tumor. It is associated with a grim prognosis with a median overall survival of approximately 20 months, despite optimal therapy. While SRS in the adjuvant setting, and ICI in the recurrent setting, have failed to demonstrate a survival benefit, SRS in the preoperative setting has the potential to enhance anti-tumor immunity and responsiveness to ICIs. Thus, these treatments represent an attractive option to add to the armamentarium of meningioma and glioblastoma management. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of the evidence supporting the use of ICIs and SRS in each of these settings.
