390 The Impact of Extent of Resection on IDH1 Wild-Type or Mutant Low-Grade Gliomas
Abstract INTRODUCTION Accumulating evidence suggests that maximizing extent of resection (EOR) improves outcomes for patients with WHO grade II low-grade gliomas (LGG). However, recent studies demonstrate that LGGs bearing a mutation in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene are a distinct molecular and clinical entity. It remains unclear whether maximizing EOR confers an equivalent clinical benefit in IDH mutated (mtIDH) and IDH wild-type (wtIDH) LGGs. To answer this question, we evaluated a cohort of patients with surgically-resection WHO grade II gliomas and known IDH1 mutation status, to assess the impact of EOR on malignant progression-free survival (MPFS) and overall survival (OS). METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 74 patients with WHO grade II gliomas and known IDH mutational status undergoing surgical resection at a single institution. EOR was assessed with quantitative three-dimensional volumetric analysis. The effect of predictor variables on MPFS and OS was analyzed with Cox regression models and the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS >52 (70%) mtIDH patients and 22 (30%) wtIDH patients were included. Median pre-operative tumor volume was 37.4 cm3 (range: 0.9-190.2 cm3). Median EOR was 57.6% (range: 0.08% 99.3%). Median follow-up was 44.4 months. Malignant progression was identified in 31 patients and 17 patients died. Univariate Cox regression analysis confirmed EOR as a prognostic factor for the entire cohort. However, Cox regression analysis stratified by IDH status demonstrated that a greater EOR independently prolonged MPFS and OS for wtIDH patients (HR = 0.002 [95% CI 0.000 - 0.074] and HR = 0.001 [95% CI 0.00 - 0.108], respectively), but not for mtIDH patients (HR = 0.84 [95% CI 0.17 - 4.13] and HR = 2.99 [95% CI 0.15 - 61.66], respectively). CONCLUSION Increasing EOR confers oncologic and survival benefits in IDH1 wild-type LGGs. However, the impact of EOR on IDH1 mutant LGGs is less significant and requires further study.
