Abstract
Objective: Recurrent high-grade gliomas are complicated cancers that require additional treatment options. Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a safe method for treating recurrent high-grade glioma; however, its use in China has not been reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of an MRgLITT system (SinoVision™) developed in China for treating recurrent high-grade glioma.
Methods: We included a prospective cohort of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma treated with the Chinese MRgLITT system between March 2021 and December 2022. Clinical data, including basic information, complication rates, outcomes, and survival analyses, were collected for patients who had at least 12 months of follow-up.
Results: 32 patients who completed a rountine follow-up period were enrolled. The estimated 1-year overall survival rate was 65.63%, including 56.52% and 88.89% patients with World Health Organization Grades IV and III gliomas, respectively. Baseline Karnofsky Performance Scale score, tumor grade and volume, and post-LITT chemo- and or radiotherapy were positive factors associated with MRgLITT for recurrent high-grade glioma outcomes. The overall complication rate was 9.38%.
Conclusion: The Chinese MRgLITT system is a safe and effective treatment option for recurrent high-grade glioma. As it is a minimally invasive treatment approach that can be tailored to the individual's anatomy and physiology, MRg LITT may offer a viable alternative for patients who are not suitable candidates for conventional surgical resection.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
