Popis: BACKGROUND Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in children and adults. A subset of these tumors harbour mutations in the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) which produces the novel oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). In general, patients with an IDH mutant glioma have a longer survival—often necessitating more re-treatment sessions over the span of a patient’s life and surveillance monitoring for tumor recurrence. The need to non-invasively detect early evidence of tumor recurrence is therefore heightened in this unique subset of patients with extended survival. As magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been demonstrated to measure biochemical components of intracranial tumors using MRI, we conducted a study in 58 pre-operative adult patients to determine if a diagnosis of IDH mutant glioma could be made confidently using imaging data. METHODS Patients underwent neuroimaging for diagnosis or preoperative planning on a 3 tesla MR scanner. A MEGA-PRESS spectral editing technique was employed. Imaging findings were directly compared to post-operative histopathologic diagnosis. RESUTLS: For all patients with gliomas from grade II to IV, detection of 2-HG with MEGA-PRESS sequence had a sensitivity between 48% and 81%, specificity between 60% and 100%, PPV between 53% and 100% and NPV between 77% and 85% depending on the CRLB threshold. Among the different metabolite ratios, a 2-HG/NAA ratio >0.034 had the highest sensitivity and specificity, 86% and 73% respectively. DISCUSSION Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an underused advanced MR technique that deserves consideration in pediatric neuro-oncology given its utility in non-invasively detecting malignant gliomas.
