Abstrakt: Aims: Anaplastic gliomas (AGs; WHO Grade III) include anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (AOA) and are known to have variable prognosis. Since biomarkers have a major impact on prognosis of gliomas, we compared the prognostic significance of the established biomarkers of AGs and the 'histomolecular' subgroups based on the proposed International Society of Neuropathology-Haarlem ('ISN-Haarlem') guidelines, with the current WHO 2007 classification.
Methods: The study was carried out on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues from 91 adult patients with AG. Clinical, histological and molecular parameters, including 1p/19q codeletion, isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (IDH1)-R132H positivity, α thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked gene (ATRX) expression and O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase gene (MGMT) promoter methylation (mMGMT), were correlated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Subsequently, following sequencing for rare IDH mutations, we derived three 'histomolecular' subgroups based on the 'integrated' diagnosis approach proposed by 'ISN-Haarlem' guidelines and correlated this with clinical outcome.
Results: Gross tumour resection, administration of radiochemotherapy, 1p/19q codeletion, IDH1-R132H positivity and mMGMT were associated with favourable OS and RFS (p≤0.001), while the WHO histological subgroups were prognostically not significant. The ISN 'histomolecular' subgroups prognosticated best with AOs (IDHmut, 1p/19q codeleted, ATRX predominantly retained) having the best survival, followed by the AAs (IDHmut, ATRX loss or retained, 1p19q non-codeleted) and AA IDH wild type group having the worst OS and RFS (p=<0.001 for OS).
Conclusions: Our study reiterates the prognostic significance of biomarkers, 1p/19q codeletion, IDH1-R132H positivity and mMGMT in AGs. Importantly, we show that the 'histomolecular' subgroups of AGs based on the 'integrated' diagnosis has a prognostic value, superior to the WHO histological classification.
