Intracranial Solitary Fibrous Tumour Management: A French Multicentre Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumour (iSFT) is an exceptional mesenchymal tumour with high recurrence rates. We aimed to analyse the clinical outcomes of newly diagnosed and recurrent iSFTs.

Methods

We carried out a French retrospective multicentre (n = 16) study of histologically proven iSFT cases. Univariate and multivariate Cox models were used to estimate the prognosis value of the age, location, size, WHO grade, and surgical extent on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS).

Results

Eighty-eight patients were included with a median age of 54.5 years. New iSFT cases were treated with gross tumour resection (GTR) (n = 75) or subtotal resection (STR) (n = 9) and postoperative r
