Introduction: Supratotal resection (SpTR) of glioblastoma may be associated with improved survival, but published results have varied in part from lack of consensus on the definition and appropriate use of SpTR. A previous small survey of neurosurgical oncologists with expertise performing SpTR found resection 1-2 cm beyond contrast enhancement was an acceptable definition and glioblastoma involving the right frontal and bilateral anterior temporal lobes were considered most amenable to SpTR. The general neurosurgical oncology community has not yet confirmed the practicality of this definition. Methods Seventy-six general neurosurgical oncology members of the AANS/CNS Tumor Section were surveyed using a crowdsourcing approach. Participants were presented with 11 definitions of SpTR and rated each definition’s appropriateness. Participants additionally reviewed magnetic resonance imaging for 10 anatomically distinct glioblastomas and assessed the tumor location's eloquence, perceived equipoise of enrolling patients in a randomized trial comparing gross total to SpTR, and their personal treatment plans. Results Fifty-two neurosurgeons (73.2%) agreed that resection 1-2 cm beyond contrast enhancement was an acceptable definition for SpTR. Cases were divided into three anatomically distinct groups by perceived equipoise between gross total and SpTR. The best clinical trial candidates were right anterior temporal (n=58, 76.3%) and right frontal (n=55, 73.3%) glioblastomas. Conclusion Support exists within the neurosurgical oncology community to adopt the proposed consensus definition of SpTR of glioblastoma and to treat right anterior temporal and right frontal glioblastomas using SpTR. A smaller proportion of general neurosurgical oncologists than SpTR experts consider SpTR feasible in the left anterior temporal lobe. |
