Modulated Radiotherapy with Concurrent and Adjuvant Temozolomide for Anaplastic Gliomas: Indian Single-center Data.


ABSTRACT: Objective:To evaluate early clinical outcome for anaplastic gliomas (AG) treated in the era of modulated radiotherapy (RT) and concurrent plus adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) in an Indian setting. Materials and Methods:Fifty-three patients with AGs treated with modulated RT and concurrent (95%) and adjuvant TMZ (90%) were analyzed. About 80% of patients had Karnofsky performance status (KPS) at least 90 with 30% seizure at presentation. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging was available in 65% cases and RT dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions. First posttreatment imaging was performed at 1 month and then at 3 and 6 months post-RT and then every 3 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), and analysis was done using SPSS version 18.0. Results:With median follow-up of 25 months, 2-year DFS and OS were 75% and 88%. There were only 5% symptomatic central nerves system and 8% symptomatic hematological toxicities. At the 1st evaluation, 30.4% had complete response (CR), at 3 months 40%, and at 6 months 43%. At 6 months, only 4% had progressive disease. Forty-six patients were evaluable till the last follow-up with and 55% had stable to CR. On univariate analysis for DFS, KPS at presentation >90 (P = 0.001) and response at 6 months (P = 0.02) were significant and for OS KPS at presentation (P = 0.004) alone. Conclusion:Modulated RT with TMZ among Grade III glioma patients resulted in minimum treatment-related toxicities and encouraging survival. Molecular prognostic markers will determine most favorable groups in future.
