理由和目标
胶质母细胞瘤图像评估利用磁共振成像对比增强、T1 加权和非对比 T2 加权流体衰减反转恢复 (FLAIR) 采集。疾病进展评估依赖于肿瘤直径的变化,这与生存相关性很差。为了改进胶质母细胞瘤的治疗监测,我们调查了解剖学对齐的 FLAIR 信号的连续体素比较,作为 GBM 进展的早期预测因子。
材料和方法
我们使用体素参数响应映射 (PRM) 分析了 52 名受试者的纵向归一化 FLAIR 图像 (rFLAIR),以监测增加 (PRM rFLAIR+ )、减少 (PRM rFLAIR- ) 或不变 (PRM rFLAIR0 ) rFLAIR 强度的体积分数。我们通过 rFLAIR 确定了治疗前和治疗后 10 周之间的反应。根据神经肿瘤学反应评估 (RANO) 标准定义的疾病稳定或部分反应的受试者子集 (N = 26) 的疾病进展风险由 PRM rFLAIR在第 10 周和第 20 周之间评估,并持续评估直到 PRM rFLAIR+超过定义的阈值。将 RANO 定义的标准与 PRM 衍生的肿瘤进展检测结果进行比较。
结果
使用 RANO 标准(PFS:p <0.0001;OS:p <0.0001)、FLAIR-高信号体积的相对变化(PFS:p = 0.0011;OS:p <0.0001)和 PRM rFLAIR+(PFS:p <0.01;OS:p <0.001)。PRM rFLAIR+还在第 10 周和第 20 周之间对有反应的患者的进展进行分层(PFS:p <0.05;OS:p = 0.01),而 FLAIR 体积测量值的变化不是预测性的。作为持续评估,PRM rFLAIR+超过 10% 的患者在 5.6 个月后进行 PFA 分层 ( p <0.0001),而 RANO 标准直到 15.4 个月才对患者进行分层 ( p <0.0001)。
结论
PRM rFLAIR可以提供胶质母细胞瘤疾病进展的早期生物标志物。

Parametric Response Mapping of FLAIR MRI Provides an Early Indication of Progression Risk in Glioblastoma
Rationale and Objectives
Glioblastoma image evaluation utilizes Magnetic Resonance Imaging contrast-enhanced, T1-weighted, and noncontrast T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) acquisitions. Disease progression assessment relies on changes in tumor diameter, which correlate poorly with survival. To improve treatment monitoring in glioblastoma, we investigated serial voxel-wise comparison of anatomically-aligned FLAIR signal as an early predictor of GBM progression.
Materials and Methods
We analyzed longitudinal normalized FLAIR images (rFLAIR) from 52 subjects using voxel-wise Parametric Response Mapping (PRM) to monitor volume fractions of increased (PRMrFLAIR+), decreased (PRMrFLAIR-), or unchanged (PRMrFLAIR0) rFLAIR intensity. We determined response by rFLAIR between pretreatment and 10 weeks posttreatment. Risk of disease progression in a subset of subjects (N = 26) with stable disease or partial response as defined by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria was assessed by PRMrFLAIR between weeks 10 and 20 and continuously until the PRMrFLAIR+ exceeded a defined threshold. RANO defined criteria were compared with PRM-derived outcomes for tumor progression detection.
Results
Patient stratification for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was achieved at week 10 using RANO criteria (PFS: p <0.0001; OS: p <0.0001), relative change in FLAIR-hyperintense volume (PFS: p = 0.0011; OS: p <0.0001), and PRMrFLAIR+ (PFS: p <0.01; OS: p <0.001). PRMrFLAIR+ also stratified responding patients’ progression between weeks 10 and 20 (PFS: p <0.05; OS: p = 0.01) while changes in FLAIR-volume measurements were not predictive. As a continuous evaluation, PRMrFLAIR+ exceeding 10% stratified patients for PFA after 5.6 months (p<0.0001), while RANO criteria did not stratify patients until 15.4 months (p <0.0001).
Conclusion
PRMrFLAIR may provide an early biomarker of disease progression in glioblastoma.
