Abstract
Purpose: "Biopsy-only" glioblastoma (BO-GB) is an understudied entity associated with a poor outcome for whom quality of life preservation is essential. Our objective was to define and determine the time of autonomy duration in BO-GB and its potential predictive factors.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with IDH wild-type BO-GB and enrolled in a prospective regional cohort from 2014 to 2017 were analyzed for their clinical features, functional status, histo-molecular profile, neuroimaging findings, and treatment details.
Results: 137 patients were included in the present analysis. Median age at inclusion was 66 years old and median KPS was 70. Median time of autonomy duration was 7.7 months (CI95%: 5.6-9.7). In the radiotherapy - temozolomide subgroup, median time of autonomy duration was 9.1 months (CI95%: 8.1-10.3); in the chemotherapy upfront group, median time of autonomy duration was 5.3 months (CI95%: 3.5-7.1). Autonomy duration was correlated to patient age and overall survival but not with initial functional status. Among the 65 patients with KPS < 70 at baseline, 11 patients (16.9%) restored their autonomy under treatment. Autonomy duration was not different between these 11 patients and the patients with baseline KPS ≥ 70 (p = 0.758).
Conclusion: Autonomy duration may serve as a surrogate endpoint for overall survival for BO-GB patients and may be included in future clinical trials dedicated to this frail population.
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.
