AbstractThe incidence and risk factors associated with radiation-induced leukoencephalopathy (RIL) in long-term survivors of high-grade glioma (HGG) are still poorly investigated. We performed a retrospective research in our institutional database for patients with supratentorial HGG treated with focal radiotherapy, having a progression-free overall survival > 30 months and available germline DNA. We reviewed MRI scans for signs of leukoencephalopathy on T2/FLAIR sequences, and medical records for information on cerebrovascular risk factors and neurological symptoms. We investigated a panel of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to assess genetic risk. Eighty-one HGG patients (18 grade IV and 63 grade III, 50M/31F) were included in the study. The median age at the time of radiotherapy was 48 years old (range 18–69). The median follow-up after the completion of radiotherapy was 79 months. A total of 44 patients (44/81, 54.3%) developed RIL during follow-up. Twenty-nine of the 44 patients developed consistent symptoms such as subcortical dementia (n = 28), gait disturbances (n = 12), and urinary incontinence (n = 9). The cumulative incidence of RIL was 21% at 12 months, 42% at 36 months, and 48% at 60 months. Age > 60 years, smoking, and the germline SNP rs2120825 (PPARg locus) were associated with an increased risk of RIL. Our study identified potential risk factors for the development of RIL (age, smoking, and the germline SNP rs2120825) and established the rationale for testing PPARg agonists in the prevention and management of late-delayed radiation-induced neurotoxicity.

High Grade Sarcoma

Abstract Background Retroperitoneal (RPS) and intra-abdominal sarcomas (IAS) are associated with poor local and abdominal tumor control. Yet, the benefit of preoperative radio- or chemotherapy alone for these entities currently is unclear. Moreover, as intermediate- and high-grade sarcomas have a tendency for early metastasis, exploration of neoadjuvant strategies is of high importance. This analysis reports the results of our 20-year single-institution experience with preoperative neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation.Methods From 2000-2019, 27 patients with intermediate- or high-grade RPS or IAS (12 dedifferentiated liposarcoma, 10 leiomyosarcoma, 5 others) were treated with radiotherapy (median dose: 50.4 Gy; range 45-75 Gy) and two cycles of chemotherapy (doxorubicin 50mg/m² BSA/d3 q28 and ifosfamide 1.5g/m2 BSA/d1-5 q28) in neoadjuvant intention. Chemotherapy consisted of doxorubicin alone in two cases and ifosfamide alone in one case. Fifteen patients (56%) received deep regional hyperthermia additionally.Results The median follow-up time was 53 months (± 56.7 months). 92% of patients received two cycles of chemotherapy as planned and 92% underwent surgery. At 5 and 10 years, abdominal-recurrence-free-survival was 74.6% (± 10.1%) and 66.3% (± 11.9%), distant-metastasis-free-survival was 67.2% (± 9.7%) and 59.7% (± 11.1%), and overall-survival was 60.3% (± 10.5%) and 60.3% (± 10.5%), respectively. CTC grade III and IV toxicities were leukocytopenia (85%), thrombocytopenia (33%) and anemia (11%). There were no treatment-related deaths.Conclusions Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with and without hyperthermia for retroperitoneal and intra-abdominal sarcoma is feasible and provided high local control of intermediate - and high-grade sarcoma.

Introduction Endovascular therapy has shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas; however, recurrence after complete occlusion is not uncommon, and the timing of recurrence remains unknown. Methods A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted from January 2005 to December 2020. Patients with high-grade (≥Borden II–Cognard IIB) dural arteriovenous fistulas treated with endovascular therapy were included in this study. Clinical and angiographic characteristics were collected for hospitalization and at follow-up. Results A total of 51 patients with a median age of 61 years were studied; 57% were female. High-flow symptoms related to the high-flow fistula were the most common presentation (67%), and 24% presented with intracranial hemorrhage. Transverse-sigmoid (26%) and cavernous (26%) sinuses were the most common dural arteriovenous fistula locations. A total of 40 patients (70%) had middle meningeal arterial feeders and 4 (7%) had deep cerebral venous drainage. The mean number of embolization procedures per patient was 1.4. Transarterial access was the most frequent approach (61%). Onyx alone was the most common embolic agent (26%). Complete occlusion rate was achieved in 46 patients (80.1%). Last mean radiographic follow-up time was 26.7 months for all 57 dural arteriovenous fistulas. Dural arteriovenous fistula recurrence after radiographic resolution at last treatment was seen in six cases (6/46, 13.1%). Mean time for recurrence was 15.8 months. Mean time of last clinical follow-up was 46.1 months for the 51 patients (100%). A total of 10 (20%) experienced any procedural complications, among which two (4%) became major thromboembolic events. Conclusion Endovascular therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of high-grade dural arteriovenous fistulas. Given the significant recurrence rate of embolized dural arteriovenous fistulas even after 2 years, long-term angiographic follow-up might be needed.
