Objective: Level of evidence for adjuvant treatment of diffuse WHO°II glioma (LGG) is low. Based on long-term follow up data of the RTOG 9802 trial, in high risk patients, most centers nowadays apply an combined radio/chemotherapy (RT+CT). Aim of the assessment is to compare progression free survival (PFS) of patients after a RT+CT with CT alone or patients without adjuvant treatment.
Methods: Based on a retrospective multi-center cohort of 288 patients (<18a) with diffuse WHO°II glioma, a sub-group analysis of patients with assessment of molecular markers and a confirmed IDH1 mutation was performed. We assessed PFS based on primary adjuvant treatment, age, extent of resection (EoR), recurrent surgery and oligodendroglial component in a multivariate Cox-regression model and Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Results: 121 patients matched the inclusion criteria. 40 received adjuvant treatment. Median follow up was 4.4a. Median overall PFS was 3.4a. Surprisingly, it was significantly longer without adjuvant treatment (4.3a vs. 2.8a p=0.002). Also, in high-risk patients (age
Conclusion: In our retrospective assessment, no significant advantage was found for PFS if an adjuvant treatment after resection of WHO°II IDH mutated diffuse glioma was applied. However, our data is limited by the retrospective study design and the heterogeneous indication for adjuvant treatment.
