Abstract

Extent of resection (EOR) still remains controversial in therapy of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). However, an increasing number of studies favor maximum EOR as being associated with longer patient survival. One hundred thirty-five GBM patients underwent tumor resection aided by 1.5T intraoperative MRI (iMRI) and integrated multimodal navigation. Tumor volume was quantified by manual segmentation. The influences of EOR, patient age, recurrent tumor, tumor localization, and gender on survival time were examined. Intraoperative MRI detected residual tumor volume in 88 patients. In 19 patients surgery was continued; further resection resulted in final gross total resection (GTR) for 9 patients (GTR increased from 47 [34.80%] to 56 [41.49%] patients). Tumor volumes were significantly reduced from 34.25 ± 23.68% (first iMRI) to 1.22 ± 16.24% (final iMRI). According to Kaplan-Meier estimates, median survival was 14 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 11.7-16.2) for EOR ≥ 98% and 9 months (95% CI: 7.4-10.5) for EOR <98% (P< .0001); it was 9 months (95% CI: 7.3-10.7) for patients ≥ 65 years and 12 months (95% CI: 8.4-15.6) for patients <65 years (P < .05). Multivariate analysis showed a hazard ratio of 0.39 (95% CI: 0.24-0.63; P = .001) for EOR ≥ 98% and 0.61 (95% CI: 0.38-0.97; P < .05) for patient age <65 years. To our knowledge, this is the largest study including correlation of iMRI, tumor volumetry, and survival time. We demonstrate that navigation guidance and iMRI significantly contribute to optimal EOR with low postoperative morbidity, where EOR ≥ 98% and patient age <65 years are associated with significant survival advantages. Thus, maximum EOR should be the surgical goal in GBM surgery while preserving neurological function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
