Abstract BACKGROUND: The beneficial role of the extent of resection (EOR) in glioma surgery in correlation to increased survival remains controversial. However, common literature favors maximum EOR with preservation of neurological function, which is shown to be associated with a significantly improved outcome. OBJECTIVE: In order to obtain a maximum EOR, it was examined whether high-field intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) combined with multimodal navigation contributes to a significantly improved EOR in glioma surgery. METHODS: Two hundred ninety-three glioma patients underwent craniotomy and tumor resection with the aid of intraoperative 1.5 T MRI and integrated multimodal navigation. In cases of remnant tumor, an update of navigation was performed with intraoperative images. Tumor volume was quantified pre- and intraoperatively by segmentation of T2 abnormality in low-grade and contrast enhancement in high-grade gliomas. RESULTS: In 25.9% of all cases examined, additional tumor mass was removed as a result of iMRI. This led to complete tumor resection in 20 cases, increasing the rate of gross-total removal from 31.7% to 38.6%. In 56 patients, additional but incomplete resection was performed because of the close location to eloquent brain areas. Volumetric analysis showed a significantly (P < .01) reduced mean percentage of tumor volume following additional further resection after iMRI from 33.5% ± 25.1% to 14.7% ± 23.3% (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I, 32.8% ± 21.9% to 6.1% ± 18.8%; WHO grade II, 24.4% ± 25.1% to 10.8% ± 11.0%; WHO grade III, 35.1% ± 27.3% to 24.8% ± 26.3%; WHO grade IV, 34.2% ± 23.7% to 1.2% ± 16.2%). CONCLUSION: MRI in conjunction with multimodal navigation and an intraoperative updating procedure enlarges tumor-volume reduction in glioma surgery significantly without higher postoperative morbidity.

ObjectivesThere is no consensus regarding the need for prophylactic anti-epileptic drug (AED) in seizure-naive newly-diagnosed glioma patients. Data regarding prophylactic AED use are scant and inconclusive from older, small studies that enrolled patients with brain metastases, benign tumours and gliomas. A definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT) is needed to determine whether the policy of prophylactic AED therapy reduces the risk of first seizures in this population.DesignMulti-centre RCT.SubjectsInclusion criteria: i. seizure-naive, ii. supratentorial glioma suitable for surgery (biopsy/resection), iii. age ≥16 years; iv. Karnofsky performance status >60.MethodsPatients are randomised 1:1. Levetiracetam 500 mg bd for 2 weeks, increased to 750 mg bd thereafter for 1 year. Non-blinded. No placebo. Primary Outcome: one year risk of first seizure. Secondary outcomes: time to first seizure, time to first tonic-clonic seizure, mood, fatigue, quality of life, progression free survival, overall survival and incremental cost per QALY. Estimate of 1 year seizure rate in glioma after surgery is 20%. Based on a reduction in seizure rate to 10% a total of 806 patients will be recruited.ResultsGrant awarded by NIHR. Feasibility questionnaire demonstrated prophylactic AED rarely used. Neurosurgeons willing to randomise. 15 UK centres have expressed interest in participating.ConclusionsSPRING will establish class I evidence for the use of seizure prophylaxis in glioma surgery. The trial will open to recruitment in January 2019.
