| Abstract: | Purpose: The updated 2016 CNS World Health Organization classification differentiates three main groups of diffuse glioma according to their molecular characteristics: astrocytic tumors with and without isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 1p/19q co-deleted oligodendrogliomas. The present study aimed to determine whether dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) is an independent prognostic marker within the molecular subgroups of diffuse glioma. Methods: Fifty-six patients with treatment-naive gliomas and advanced preoperative MRI examination were assessed retrospectively. The mean and maximal normalized cerebral blood volume values from DSC-MRI within the tumors were measured. Optimal cutoff values for the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) were defined, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed separately for the three glioma subgroups. Results: IDH wild-type astrocytic tumors had a higher mean and maximal perfusion than IDH-mutant astrocytic tumors and oligodendrogliomas. Patients with IDH wild-type astrocytic tumors and a low mean or maximal perfusion had a significantly shorter PFS than patients of the same group with high perfusion (p = 0.0159/0.0112). Furthermore, they had a significantly higher risk for early progression (hazard ratio = 5.6/5.1). This finding was independent of the methylation status of O6-methylguanin-DNA-methyltransferase and variations of the therapy. Within the groups of IDH-mutant astrocytic tumors and oligodendrogliomas, the PFS of low and highly perfused tumors did not differ. Conclusion: High perfusion upon initial diagnosis is not compellingly associated with worse short-term prognosis within the different molecular subgroups of diffuse glioma. Particularly, the overall highly perfused group of IDH wild-type astrocytic tumors contains tumors with low perfusion but unfavorable prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
