Youmans,Neurological surgery
15/12/2015
Outline
• Epidemiology
• Clinical manifestation
• Histopathology
• Neuroimaging studies
• Management
Epidemiology :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma (WHO grade III)
Glioblastoma Multiforme(WHO grade IV)
• Most common primary brain tumor in adults
• Median age : AAs 40 yrs, GBM 53 yrs
• GBM is more common in men, with a male-to-
female ratio of 1.5:1
Epidemiology : Gliosarcoma
• 2% and 8% of cases of GBM (WHO grade IV)
• Clinical findings and prognosis are similar in
gliosarcoma and GBM
• Mean age of 53 Yrs(40-60 Years)
• Male-to-female ratio of 1.8 : 1
• May also occur in children
Clinical manifestation :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• Cerebral hemispheres
• Can arise from low-grade astrocytoma (WHO grade II)
• AAs can progress to GBM and recur locally,often at
the margins of the tumor resection
• Symptoms and signs are nonspecific in patients
with GBM
– raised intracranial pressure
– extraocular palsies, objective papilledema, pupil
abnormalities, or decreased level of consciousness
Clinical manifestation :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• Prominent in the morning and improve over the
course of the day
• Progressive headaches are a hallmark of the
symptomatology of these tumors
• Seizure
Clinical manifestation :
Gliosarcoma
• Most common : Temporal lobe, also occur in
parietal, frontal, occipital lobes
• Multifocal display of cerebral and cerebellar
gliosarcomas
• Can spread into the cerebrospinal fluid pathways
and invade the ventricles, cranial nerves,
leptomeninges, and spinal cord
• Tendency toward peripheral brain localization and
dural attachment
Clinical manifestation :
Gliosarcoma
• Metastasis much more frequently than glioblastoma
• Most common symptoms : headache, hemiparesis,
nausea, seizures, and personality change
• Most common signs : focal weakness, visual field
defects, papilledema, and dysphasia
Clinical manifestation :
Gliosarcoma
Histopathology :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• Morphology is the “gold standard”
– Pilocytic astrocytoma (WHO grade I)
– Low-grade astrocytoma (WHO grade II)
• nuclear atypia, no mitosis
– Anaplastic Astrocytoma (WHO grade III)
• mitotic activity and nuclear atypia
– Glioblastoma Multiforme (WHO grade IV)
• nuclear atypia, mitoses, and endothelial
proliferation or necrosis
Histopathology :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• MIB-1 /Ki-67 labeling index increases proportionally
with tumor grade
– AA (WHO grade III) : 5-10%
– GBM (WHO grade IV) : 10-20%
Primary glioblastomas Secondary glioblastomas
> 50 years younger patients as low-grade astrocytoma or
AA and then transform over a period of several
years into glioblastoma
Mutation or amplification of EGFR overexpression of platelet-derived growth
factor receptor (PDGFR)
loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 10q loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 10q
deletion of the phosphatase and tensin
homologue on chromosome 10 (PTEN)
mutations in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene
deletion of chromosome p16. abnormalities in the p16
mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)
Molecular biology
Histopathology :
Gliosarcomas
• Characterized by a biphasic tissue pattern with
glial and mesenchymal component
• Glial portion : astrocytes with nuclear atypia and
mitotic figures
• Sarcomatous region : neoplastic mesenchymal cells
with associated reticulin formation
• Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunostaining
: distinguishing between gliosarcoma and other
tumors such as glioblastoma or pure sarcoma
Histopathology :
Gliosarcomas
• Vimentin : marker for mesenchymal cells, occurs
mostly in sarcomatous areas with scarce staining in
glial regions
• Gross
– tough, well-circumscribed lobular mass often attached to
the dura and at surgery may resemble a meningioma
– contain areas of necrosis
– The sarcomatous component of these tumors is firm and
well circumscribed
Neuroimaging studies :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• MRI
– T1 : irregular hyposignal with various degrees of
contrast enhancement
– Ring-like enhancement surrounding irregularly
shaped areas : suggests glioblastoma
– However, AAs can appear as nonenhancing
tumors, and even glioblastomas may initially be
manifested as a nonenhancing lesions, especially
in older patients
Neuroimaging studies :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• fMRI
– locations of functionally eloquent cortex, such as
the motor cortex, Broca’s area, Wernicke’s
area, and the visual cortex
• Pseudoprogression : increased enhancement
reflects a transient increase in vessel permeability
that is a result of radiotherapy
• Magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS) :
differentiate tumors from stroke, old trauma,
radionecrosis, infection, and multiple sclerosis
Neuroimaging studies :
Anaplastic Astrocytoma
Glioblastoma Multiforme
• Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
(FDG-PET)
– effective in demonstrating hypermetabolism in high-
grade tumors
– distinguishing tumor or tumor recurrence from
radionecrosis
Neuroimaging studies :
Gliosarcomas
• MRI
– T1 : well demarcated hyperdense mass with
heterogeneous or irregular ring enhancement
– T2 : isosignal with surrounding edema
– Intraaxial superficial with a dural base
– Vasogenic edema
– Central hypodensity, as a result of necrosis, is less
common in gliosarcomas
Management : General Medical Management
• Seizure
– Selecting antiepileptic drugs to prevent drug
interactions(phenytoin,carbamazepine)
– Prefer levetiracetam
– AAN : advises against the routine use of antiepileptic
drugs in patients who have never had a seizure
• Venous thromboembolism
– anticoagulation therapy
– LMWH may be more effective and safer than warfarin
Management : General Medical Management
• Peritumoral edema
– Corticosteroid(dexamethasone)
– Side effect : Cushing’s syndrome, corticosteroid
myopathy, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonitis
– New therapy : corticotropin releasing factor,
bevacizumab (VEGF monoclonal antibody),
VEGF receptor inhibitors
• Fatigue
– Methylphenidate for abulia
– Donepezil and memantine may reduce memory loss
Management : Surgery
• Goal
– obtain a tissue diagnosis
– decrease the mass effect
– reduce the tumor burden
Management
Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy
• Carmustine-loaded biodegradable polymers
• RCT
• Improve survival : 23 weeks to 31 weeks after revision resection
• Surgery time to death : 58 weeks vs 39 weeks placebo
• Median survival time : 13.8 months vs 11.6 months placebo
Management
Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy
• Most effective treatment
• Resection
• Carmustine-loaded
biodegradable wafers
• Temodar
• Radiation therapy
• 20 Months
Management
Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy
• O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase
(MGMT)
• Repair enzyme that contributes to resistance of
tumors to alkylating agents such as carmustine
or Temodar
Management : Gliosarcoma
• Surgery
– firm, well demarcated, and vascular
– can be excised to achieve gross macroscopic
clearance
• Chemotherapy
• Radiotherapy
• All patient
• Increase survival 8-15 wks
Patient outcome and survival
• Median survival is less than 2 years
• Anaplastic glioma : 2-5 years
• Age and KPS score are the most significant
prognostic factors
• Gliosarcoma : 6 - 14.8 months

122 Malignant gliomas anaplastic astrocytoma gb gliosarcoma

  • 1. Chapter 122 Malignant Gliomas : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme Gliosarcoma Youmans,Neurological surgery 15/12/2015
  • 2. Outline • Epidemiology • Clinical manifestation • Histopathology • Neuroimaging studies • Management
  • 3. Epidemiology : Anaplastic Astrocytoma (WHO grade III) Glioblastoma Multiforme(WHO grade IV) • Most common primary brain tumor in adults • Median age : AAs 40 yrs, GBM 53 yrs • GBM is more common in men, with a male-to- female ratio of 1.5:1
  • 4. Epidemiology : Gliosarcoma • 2% and 8% of cases of GBM (WHO grade IV) • Clinical findings and prognosis are similar in gliosarcoma and GBM • Mean age of 53 Yrs(40-60 Years) • Male-to-female ratio of 1.8 : 1 • May also occur in children
  • 5. Clinical manifestation : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • Cerebral hemispheres • Can arise from low-grade astrocytoma (WHO grade II) • AAs can progress to GBM and recur locally,often at the margins of the tumor resection • Symptoms and signs are nonspecific in patients with GBM – raised intracranial pressure – extraocular palsies, objective papilledema, pupil abnormalities, or decreased level of consciousness
  • 6. Clinical manifestation : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • Prominent in the morning and improve over the course of the day • Progressive headaches are a hallmark of the symptomatology of these tumors • Seizure
  • 7. Clinical manifestation : Gliosarcoma • Most common : Temporal lobe, also occur in parietal, frontal, occipital lobes • Multifocal display of cerebral and cerebellar gliosarcomas • Can spread into the cerebrospinal fluid pathways and invade the ventricles, cranial nerves, leptomeninges, and spinal cord • Tendency toward peripheral brain localization and dural attachment
  • 8. Clinical manifestation : Gliosarcoma • Metastasis much more frequently than glioblastoma • Most common symptoms : headache, hemiparesis, nausea, seizures, and personality change • Most common signs : focal weakness, visual field defects, papilledema, and dysphasia
  • 10. Histopathology : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • Morphology is the “gold standard” – Pilocytic astrocytoma (WHO grade I) – Low-grade astrocytoma (WHO grade II) • nuclear atypia, no mitosis – Anaplastic Astrocytoma (WHO grade III) • mitotic activity and nuclear atypia – Glioblastoma Multiforme (WHO grade IV) • nuclear atypia, mitoses, and endothelial proliferation or necrosis
  • 11.
  • 12.
  • 13. Histopathology : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • MIB-1 /Ki-67 labeling index increases proportionally with tumor grade – AA (WHO grade III) : 5-10% – GBM (WHO grade IV) : 10-20%
  • 14. Primary glioblastomas Secondary glioblastomas > 50 years younger patients as low-grade astrocytoma or AA and then transform over a period of several years into glioblastoma Mutation or amplification of EGFR overexpression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 10q loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 10q deletion of the phosphatase and tensin homologue on chromosome 10 (PTEN) mutations in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene deletion of chromosome p16. abnormalities in the p16 mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) Molecular biology
  • 15. Histopathology : Gliosarcomas • Characterized by a biphasic tissue pattern with glial and mesenchymal component • Glial portion : astrocytes with nuclear atypia and mitotic figures • Sarcomatous region : neoplastic mesenchymal cells with associated reticulin formation • Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunostaining : distinguishing between gliosarcoma and other tumors such as glioblastoma or pure sarcoma
  • 16. Histopathology : Gliosarcomas • Vimentin : marker for mesenchymal cells, occurs mostly in sarcomatous areas with scarce staining in glial regions • Gross – tough, well-circumscribed lobular mass often attached to the dura and at surgery may resemble a meningioma – contain areas of necrosis – The sarcomatous component of these tumors is firm and well circumscribed
  • 17. Neuroimaging studies : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • MRI – T1 : irregular hyposignal with various degrees of contrast enhancement – Ring-like enhancement surrounding irregularly shaped areas : suggests glioblastoma – However, AAs can appear as nonenhancing tumors, and even glioblastomas may initially be manifested as a nonenhancing lesions, especially in older patients
  • 18. Neuroimaging studies : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • fMRI – locations of functionally eloquent cortex, such as the motor cortex, Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area, and the visual cortex • Pseudoprogression : increased enhancement reflects a transient increase in vessel permeability that is a result of radiotherapy • Magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS) : differentiate tumors from stroke, old trauma, radionecrosis, infection, and multiple sclerosis
  • 19. Neuroimaging studies : Anaplastic Astrocytoma Glioblastoma Multiforme • Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) – effective in demonstrating hypermetabolism in high- grade tumors – distinguishing tumor or tumor recurrence from radionecrosis
  • 20. Neuroimaging studies : Gliosarcomas • MRI – T1 : well demarcated hyperdense mass with heterogeneous or irregular ring enhancement – T2 : isosignal with surrounding edema – Intraaxial superficial with a dural base – Vasogenic edema – Central hypodensity, as a result of necrosis, is less common in gliosarcomas
  • 21. Management : General Medical Management • Seizure – Selecting antiepileptic drugs to prevent drug interactions(phenytoin,carbamazepine) – Prefer levetiracetam – AAN : advises against the routine use of antiepileptic drugs in patients who have never had a seizure • Venous thromboembolism – anticoagulation therapy – LMWH may be more effective and safer than warfarin
  • 22. Management : General Medical Management • Peritumoral edema – Corticosteroid(dexamethasone) – Side effect : Cushing’s syndrome, corticosteroid myopathy, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonitis – New therapy : corticotropin releasing factor, bevacizumab (VEGF monoclonal antibody), VEGF receptor inhibitors • Fatigue – Methylphenidate for abulia – Donepezil and memantine may reduce memory loss
  • 23. Management : Surgery • Goal – obtain a tissue diagnosis – decrease the mass effect – reduce the tumor burden
  • 24.
  • 25. Management Radiation Therapy Chemotherapy • Carmustine-loaded biodegradable polymers • RCT • Improve survival : 23 weeks to 31 weeks after revision resection • Surgery time to death : 58 weeks vs 39 weeks placebo • Median survival time : 13.8 months vs 11.6 months placebo
  • 26. Management Radiation Therapy Chemotherapy • Most effective treatment • Resection • Carmustine-loaded biodegradable wafers • Temodar • Radiation therapy • 20 Months
  • 27. Management Radiation Therapy Chemotherapy • O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) • Repair enzyme that contributes to resistance of tumors to alkylating agents such as carmustine or Temodar
  • 28. Management : Gliosarcoma • Surgery – firm, well demarcated, and vascular – can be excised to achieve gross macroscopic clearance • Chemotherapy • Radiotherapy • All patient • Increase survival 8-15 wks
  • 29. Patient outcome and survival • Median survival is less than 2 years • Anaplastic glioma : 2-5 years • Age and KPS score are the most significant prognostic factors • Gliosarcoma : 6 - 14.8 months
