Zusammenfassung
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of relaxation-compensated chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in newly diagnosed high-grade glioma (HGG) patients.
Methods
Twenty-six patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma (WHO grades III–IV) were included in this prospective IRB-approved study. CEST MRI was performed on a 7.0-T whole-body scanner. Association of patient OS/PFS with relaxation-compensated CEST MRI (amide proton transfer (APT), relayed nuclear Overhauser effect (rNOE)/NOE, downfield-rNOE-suppressed APT (dns-APT)) and diffusion-weighted imaging (apparent diffusion coefficient) were assessed using the univariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. Hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Furthermore, OS/PFS association with clinical parameters (age, gender, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promotor methylation status, and therapy: biopsy + radio-chemotherapy vs. debulking surgery + radio-chemotherapy) were tested accordingly.
Results
Relaxation-compensated APT MRI was significantly correlated with patient OS (HR = 3.15, p = 0.02) and PFS (HR = 1.83, p = 0.009). The strongest association with PFS was found for the dns-APT metric (HR = 2.61, p = 0.002). These results still stand for the relaxation-compensated APT contrasts in a homogenous subcohort of n = 22 glioblastoma patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type status. Among the tested clinical parameters, patient age (HR = 1.1, p = 0.001) and therapy (HR = 3.68, p = 0.026) were significant for OS; age additionally for PFS (HR = 1.04, p = 0.048).
Conclusion
Relaxation-compensated APT MRI signal intensity is associated with overall survival and progression-free survival in newly diagnosed, previously untreated glioma patients and may, therefore, help to customize treatment and response monitoring in the future.
