Prognostic stratification of newly diagnosed IDH-mutant gliomas by [18F]fluoroethyltyrosine and [11C]methionine PET: A retrospective, bicentric cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improved prognostic stratification, including imaging-based parameters, is needed to guide treatment decisions in IDH-mutant glioma.

Methods

In this bicentric retrospective study, 457 patients with IDH-mutant glioma and [18F]fluoroethyltyrosine or [11C]methionine positron emission tomography (PET) prior to radiotherapy or systemic treatment were included. Associations of maximum and mean tumor-to-background ratios (TBRmax/TBRmean) and PET-positive volume (PET volume) with time to next intervention (TTNI) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed.

Results

Overall, 251 (54.9%) patients with astrocytoma and 206 (45.1%) with oligodendroglioma were included. In patients with astrocytoma who underwent PET before resection, measurable disease according to PET RANO 1
