Abstract

Purpose

Maximal safe tumor resection is the first line of treatment for IDH-mutated gliomas. However, when upfront surgical resection is deemed unsatisfactory due to tumor size and location, chemotherapy could represent an interesting alternative for reducing glioma extension and allowing for a safer and more efficient removal.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study (June 2011 to December 2021) on patients with IDH-mutated gliomas undergoing chemotherapy with a neoadjuvant intent, followed by surgical excision in awake conditions. MRI-imaging follow-up was conducted every 3–6 months. Neuropsychological assessments (NPSA) were performed for all patients before surgery, during post-operative period, and at later follow-up, and patients were periodically interviewed about their clinical and job status.

Results

We included 6 patients who underwent awake surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (temozolomide in 5 cases, PCV in 1 case) for an IDH-mutated glioma (3 oligodendrogliomas and 3 astrocytomas). Median tumor volume reduction was 47%, allowing for complete resection in one patient, subtotal resection in 4 patients, and partial resection in 1 patient. No major adverse effects were observed under chemotherapy. At the 4 months NPSA, a worsening of flexibility was observed in 2 patients (verbal fluencies in one case and trail making test in the other). Three out of the four patients working full time before procedure resumed their job full time, after a 7 to 10 months delay.

Conclusion

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by maximal safe resection can be offered to patients affected by IDH-mutated gliomas for whom upfront surgery would be inadequate. More studies are necessary given the limited size of our sample.
