To investigate whether type-specific sex differences in survival exist independently of clinical and molecular factors in adult-type diffuse gliomas according to the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
A retrospective chart and imaging review of 1325 patients (mean age, 54 ± 15 years; 569 females) with adult-type diffuse gliomas (oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant, and 1p/19q-codeleted, n = 183; astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, n = 211; glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, n = 800; IDH-wildtype diffuse glioma, NOS, n = 131) was performed. The demographic information, extent of resection, imaging data, and molecular data including O-methylguanine-methyltransferase promoter methylation (MGMT) promotor methylation were collected. Sex differences in survival were analyzed using Cox analysis.
In patients with glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, female sex remained as an independent predictor of better overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.91, P = 0.031), along with age, histological grade 4, MGMT promoter methylation status, and gross total resection. Female sex showed a higher prevalence of MGMT promoter methylation (40.2% vs 32.0%, P = 0.017) but there was no interaction effect between female sex and MGMT promoter methylation status (P-interaction = 0.194), indicating independent role of female sex. The median OS for females were 19.2 months (12.3-35.0) and 16.2 months (10.5-30.6) for males. No sex difference in survival was seen in other types of adult-type diffuse gliomas.
There was a female survival advantage in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, independently of clinical data or MGMT promoter methylation status. There was no sex difference in survival in other types of adult-type diffuse gliomas, suggesting type-specific sex effects solely in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype.
根据 2021 年世界卫生组织(WHO)分类,研究在成人弥漫性神经胶质瘤中,生存是否存在与临床和分子因素无关的特定性别差异。
对 1325 名成人弥漫性神经胶质瘤(少突胶质细胞瘤,IDH 突变且 1p/19q 共缺失,n=183;星形细胞瘤,IDH 突变,n=211;胶质母细胞瘤,IDH 野生型,n=800;IDH 野生型弥漫性神经胶质瘤,NOS,n=131)患者的病历和影像学进行回顾性分析。收集了人口统计学信息、切除程度、影像学数据和分子数据,包括 O-甲基鸟嘌呤-DNA 甲基转移酶启动子甲基化(MGMT)启动子甲基化。使用 Cox 分析来分析生存中的性别差异。
在胶质母细胞瘤,IDH 野生型患者中,女性仍然是总生存期更好的独立预测因素(风险比=0.91,P=0.031),此外还有年龄、组织学分级 4 级、MGMT 启动子甲基化状态和大体全切除。女性 MGMT 启动子甲基化的发生率更高(40.2%比 32.0%,P=0.017),但女性性别和 MGMT 启动子甲基化状态之间没有交互作用(P 交互=0.194),表明女性性别具有独立作用。女性的中位 OS 为 19.2 个月(12.3-35.0),男性为 16.2 个月(10.5-30.6)。在其他类型的成人弥漫性神经胶质瘤中,性别与生存之间没有差异。
在胶质母细胞瘤,IDH 野生型中,女性生存存在优势,与临床数据或 MGMT 启动子甲基化状态无关。在其他类型的成人弥漫性神经胶质瘤中,性别与生存之间没有差异,这表明性别效应仅存在于胶质母细胞瘤,IDH 野生型中。
