  1. Multiple Craniotomies in the Management of Multifocal and Multicentric Glioblastoma Raymond Sawaya, M.D.

  2. Multiple GBM Lesions are not Rare Glioblastoma Multiple Synchronous Gliomas ~ 0.5 – 20%

  3. Pathogenesis • Not Clearly Understood • Zülch, 1957 • Metastasis ? • Willis, 1967 • multi-focal growth • Kyritsis et al.,1994 •  p53 gene mutation (? Genetic Background)

  4. Management ?

  5. Literature • Questions more than answers • Case Reports and 3 Series

  6. Literature Case Reports Ampil et al., 2007

  7. Int. J. Radiation Oncology Biol. Phys., Vol. 69, No. 3, pp. 820–824, 2007 • 50 patients with MF GBM (1995-2005) • The Policy: • Remove one tumor focus • WBRT or 3D Conformal RT • Concurrent Chemotherapy 42% Median Survival 8.1 months

  8. 40 patients with Multiple CNS Tumors (1988-1993) • 10 Multicentric • 30 Multifocal • The Policy: • Removal of all tumor(s) [no description] • Radiotherapy • 30 patients received Chemotherapy

  9. Salvati et al., 1997 Cont.

  10. 51 patients with MF Gliomas (1988-1992) • Describes the Radiological Characteristics with No Comments on the Management • The Median Survival Time was 6 months European Journal of Radiology, 16 (1993) 163-170

  11. Illustrative Case • 47 y/o M; Anesthesiologist • H/A, Focal seizure in the Lt Leg • Neurological Exam: Normal

  12. Multiple craniotomies in the management of multifocal and multicentric glioblastoma Wael Hassaneen, MD, Nicholas B. Levine, MD, Dima Suki, PhD, Abbhijit Salaskar, MBBS, Alessandra de Moura Lima, Ian McCutcheon, MD, Sujit Prabhu, MD, Frederick F. Lang, MD, Franco DeMonte, MD, Ganesh Rao, MD, Jeffrey S. Weinberg, MD, David Wildrick PhD, Ken Aldape, MD, and Raymond Sawaya, MD Under review

  13. Objectives • Complications • Do multiple craniotomies increase the risks to the patients? • Survival • Is the overall survival with multiple lesions who undergo extensive resections, similar to that of patients with a single lesion?

  14. Multicentric vs. Multifocal T1 + C Flair Multicentric Multifocal

  15. Study Design Study period: 1993-2008

  16. Matching Factors (1:1 Ratio) 6000 surgically treated GBM • 20 controls • Preop KPS score • Extent of resection • Age at surgery • Year of surgery • Tumor Functional Grade

  17. Clinical Characteristics

  18. Clinical CharacteristicsTumor NO.

  19. Clinical CharacteristicsLocation

  20. Clinical CharacteristicsTumor Worst Functional Grade

  21. Clinical CharacteristicsTumor Status The Study included New and Recurrent Lesions

  22. Clinical CharacteristicsSymptoms Patient may have > 1 symptom

  23. Clinical CharacteristicsManagement

  24. Clinical CharacteristicsManagement Cont. * Except for 3 patients who lost to follow up in each group

  25. Postop. Complications

  26. Overall Survival • 2 Patients still alive in each Group (P= 0.34)

  27. Overall Survival (Group) KPS > 80 Solitary MF/MC

  28. Overall Survival • Multicentric • 12.9 mos • Multifocal • 9.6 mos

  29. Overall Survival for New Lesions (P= 0. 014)

  30. Overall Survival (New Lesions) En Bloc Resection Solitary MF MC

  31. F/U at 1 year

  32. F/U at 16 mos

  33. Limitations of the Study • Retrospective Case Series • Small sample size • Highly selected cases • Patients treated by other modalities (biopsy, resection of one lesion….) were not included in the study.

  34. Conclusions • Morbidity: Multiple Craniotomies appear similar to Single Craniotomies • Survival: MF and MC GBM may benefit from complete resection of all the lesions • Future Studies: Prospective Assessment of the role of Multiple Craniotomies in the management of MF MC glioblastomas
