Abstract
Purpose: Diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34-mutant (DHG, H3 G34) is an uncommon new tumor type defined in the World Health Organization 2021 classification. DHG, H3 G34 primarily affects children and young adults. There is paucity of knowledge regarding its demographic and prognostic factors. We present an institutional case series and a comprehensive literature review to better determine factors contributing to overall survival.
Methods: We included an institutional case series (n = 6) and comprehensively reviewed previously published individual cases of DHG, H3 G34 through January 2025. A total of 514 individual cases of DHG, H3 G34 were identified and utilized for analyses (n = 257 with individual level survival data). We performed survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression.
Results: Median age of the cohort was 16 years (range: 1-66 years). Median OS was 21 months. OS was improved with gross total resection compared to subtotal resection and biopsy only (Log-rank p < 0.001). Patients with primary tumor location in the right hemisphere had longer OS relative to other tumor locations (Log-rank p < 0.001). Patients with H3 p.G35V (G34V) mutations as opposed to p.G35R mutations had shorter OS (Log-rank p = 0.01). There was no difference in survival outcomes by patient age, MGMT promoter methylation status, the presence of TP53/ATRX/PDGFRA mutations or contrast enhancement.
Conclusions: We present the largest combined data set of patients with DHG, H3 G34 to date and describe in greater clarity the prognostic factors which impact survival in this disease. Unlike many primary brain tumors including glioblastoma and tumors in adolescents and young adults, survival does not appear to be significantly impacted by age.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.
