Short-term survivors in glioblastomas with oligodendroglioma component: a clinical study of 186 Chinese patients from a single institution.

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to display the molecular genetic features of short-term survivors in glioblastomas with oligodendroglioma component (GBMO). A total of 186 patients with histological diagnosis of primary gliomas, including 11 GBMO-STS (short-term survivors, survival ?12 months), 29 GBMO-LTS (relatively long-term survivors, survival >12 months), 36 anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (AOA) and 110 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), enrolled in the study. An evaluation form was developed and used to document molecular pathological, clinical and treatment-associated parameters between subgroups. Kaplan-Meier plots for survival showed that the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of GBMO-STS were 5.0 and 10.0 months, respectively. Intergroup comparison revealed that the GBMO-STS harbored the most dismal prognosis than those with AOA, GBMO-LTS or GBM (P < 0.001 for PFS, P < 0.001 for OS, respectively). Cox regression analyses revealed that 1p/19q co-deletion and 19p polysomy were independent prognostic factors (P < 0.05). Pearson's Chi square test demonstrated GBMO-STS exhibited lower 1p/19q co-deletion, IDH1 mutation rates than AOA or GBMO-LTS (P = 0.032, P = 0.045 for 1p/19q co-deletion; P = 0.034, P = 0.005 for IDH1 mutation, respectively) but higher chromosome 1q, 19p polysomy rates compared with AOA or GBM (P = 0.037, P = 0.030 for 1q polysomy; P = 0.017, P = 0.011 for 19p polysomy, respectively). Patients with glioblastomas with oligodendroglioma component concurrent with polysomy for chromosomes 1 and 19 always confers an unfavorable prognosis which needs our extra attention in clinic.

Project description:Background: Denosumab is approved to prevent fragility fractures in patients with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture and to prevent bone loss in patients with breast and prostate cancer who receive endocrine therapy. The antiresorptive effect of denosumab rapidly dissipates when it is delayed or discontinued, but the risk for, and incidence of, multiple clinical vertebral fractures in patients with breast cancer after stopping denosumab is currently unclear. Question/Purposes: We sought to identify the incidence of clinical vertebral fractures in patients with breast cancer who received at least 2 doses of denosumab (60 mg) and then discontinued the medication. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review to identify patients with a history of breast cancer who were treated with denosumab between June 1, 2010, and July 18, 2018, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We identified 335 postmenopausal women and 1 man with nonmetastatic breast cancer who received their final denosumab injection at least 6.5 months earlier. Data recorded included baseline bone density and the incidence of vertebral fractures after denosumab discontinuation. Results: The median age of patients was 62 years. Patients received between 2 and 13 denosumab doses before drug discontinuation. Most of the patients (310; 92.3%) were also treated with aromatase inhibitors. Of the 194 patients with baseline bone density data, 50 (25.8%) had normal bone density, 97 (50.0%) had osteopenia, and 47 (24.2%) had osteoporosis. The median follow-up duration from the last denosumab dose was 18.5 months. We identified 1 case of spontaneous vertebral fractures after denosumab stoppage. We found no cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw or atypical femur fracture. Most of the patients (88%) had a gap in denosumab dosing. Conclusions: Clinicians treating patients with breast cancer-especially those continuing to take aromatase inhibitors-should be aware of the possible risks of delaying doses of or discontinuing denosumab and should educate their patients accordingly. Prospective studies are needed to fully evaluate the risks of stopping or delaying denosumab.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive type of glioma with poor prognosis. However, a small number of patients live much longer than the median survival. A better understanding of these long-term survivors (LTS) may provide important insight into the biology of GBM. We identified 7 patients with GBM treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) with survival greater than 48 months. We characterized the transcriptome of each patient and determined rates of MGMT promoter methylation and IDH1 and IDH2 mutational status. We identified LTS in two independent cohorts (TCGA and REMBRANDT) and analyzed the transcriptomal characteristics of these LTS. The median overall survival of our cohort was 62.5 months. LTS were distributed between the proneural (n=2), neural (n=2), classical (n=2) and mesenchymal (n=1) subtypes. Similarly, LTS in the TCGA and REMBRANDT cohorts demonstrated diverse transcriptomal subclassification identity. The majority of the MSKCC LTS (71%) were found to have methylation of the MGMT promoter. None of the patients had an IDH1 or IDH2 mutations, and IDH mutation occurred in a minority of the TCGA LTS as well. A set of 42 genes was found to be differentially expressed in the MSKCC and TCGA LTS. While IDH mutant proneural tumors impart a better prognosis in the short-term, survival beyond 4 years does not require IDH mutation and is not dictated by a single transcriptional subclass. In contrast, MGMT methylation continues to have strong prognostic value for survival beyond 4 years. These findings have substantial impact for understanding GBM biology and progression. All tumors (n = 7) were obtained following surgical resection at the MSKCC as part of routine clinical care, and snap frozen. Tumors were obtained in accordance with Institutional Review Board policies at the MSKCC. Each sample was examined histologically by 3 independent neuropathologists and confirmed to be World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV glioma (GBM). Before analysis, tumors were sectioned and microdissected. Genomic DNA or RNA was extracted using the DNeasy kit (Qiagen) or RNeasy Lipid Tissue Mini Kit (Qiagen) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Expression analysis of tumors was performed using the Affymetrics U133 2.0 microarray (Affymetrix). Affymetrix CEL files were imported into the Partek Genomics Suite (Partek). The TCGA gene expression data (HT-HG-U133A) was accessed from the TCGA data repositories (http://cancergenome.nih.gov, date of download 12/2013).
