Imaging timing after surgery for glioblastoma: an evaluation of practice in Great Britain and Ireland (INTERVAL-GB)- a multi-centre, cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Post-operative MRI is used to assess extent of resection, monitor treatment response and detect progression in high-grade glioma. However, compliance with accepted guidelines for follow-up MRI, and impact on management/outcomes is unclear.

Methods

Multi-center, retrospective observational cohort study of patients with confirmed WHO grade 4 glioma (August 2018-February 2019) receiving oncological treatment.

Primary objective

investigate follow-up MRI surveillance practice and compliance with recommendations from NICE (Post-operative scan < 72h, MRI every 3-6 months) and EANO (Post-operative scan < 48h, MRI every 3 months).

Results

There were 754 patients from 26 neuro-oncology centers with a median age of 63 years (IQR 54-70), yielding 10,100 (median, 12
