IDH-mutant lower-grade gliomas (LGGs, grade 2 or 3) eventually transform into secondary grade 4 astrocytomas (sA). Here, we sought to describe the transformation time, risk factors, and outcomes in malignant transformation of IDH-mutant LGGs.
We screened data for 108 patients with sA in the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas who had initial IDH-mutant LGGs and underwent reoperation during 2005-2021. We evaluated the transformation time from IDH-mutant LGGs to sA, and associated risk factors and outcomes. Malignant transformation was defined as pathological confirmation of grade 4 astrocytoma.
The median age of the 108 patients with IDH-mutant LGGs was 35 years (range, 19-54); the median age at transformation was 40 years (range, 25-62); and the median follow-up time for all patients was 146 months (range, 121-171). The average transformation time was 58.8 months for all patients with LGGs (range, 5.9-208.1); 63.5 and 51.9 months for grade 2 and 3 gliomas, respectively; and 58.4 and 78.1 months for IDH-mutant/1p/19q-non-codeleted astrocytomas and IDH-mutant/1p/19q-codeleted oligodendrogliomas, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that radiotherapy [hazard ratio (HR), 0.29; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.137-0.595; = 0.001] and non-A blood type (HR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.203-0.680; = 0.001) were protective factors against delayed malignant transformation. Radiotherapy was associated with improved survival after transformation (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.241-0.803; = 0.008), overall survival (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.265-0.972; = 0.041), and progression-free survival (HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.133-0.479; < 0.0001) in patients with IDH-mutant gliomas.
Radiotherapy is associated with delayed malignant transformation and improved survival in patients with IDH-mutant gliomas.
异柠檬酸脱氢酶突变型低级别胶质瘤(LGG,2 级或 3 级)最终会转化为继发性 4 级星形细胞瘤(sA)。在此,我们旨在描述 IDH 突变型 LGG 恶性转化的转化时间、风险因素和结局。
我们对中国脑胶质瘤基因组图谱中 108 例初始 IDH 突变型 LGG 患者进行了筛查,这些患者在 2005-2021 年间进行了再次手术。我们评估了从 IDH 突变型 LGG 到 sA 的转化时间以及相关的风险因素和结局。恶性转化定义为病理证实为 4 级星形细胞瘤。
108 例 IDH 突变型 LGG 患者的中位年龄为 35 岁(范围:19-54 岁);转化时的中位年龄为 40 岁(范围:25-62 岁);所有患者的中位随访时间为 146 个月(范围:121-171 个月)。所有 LGG 患者的平均转化时间为 58.8 个月(范围:5.9-208.1 个月);2 级和 3 级胶质瘤分别为 63.5 和 51.9 个月;IDH 突变型/1p/19q-非缺失型星形细胞瘤和 IDH 突变型/1p/19q-缺失型少突胶质细胞瘤分别为 58.4 和 78.1 个月。单因素和多因素分析表明,放疗(风险比[HR],0.29;95%置信区间[CI],0.137-0.595; = 0.001)和非 A 血型(HR,0.37;95%CI,0.203-0.680; = 0.001)是恶性转化延迟的保护因素。放疗与转化后生存改善相关(HR,0.44;95%CI,0.241-0.803; = 0.008)、总生存(HR,0.50;95%CI,0.265-0.972; = 0.041)和无进展生存(HR,0.25;95%CI,0.133-0.479; <0.0001)。
