Abstract Ependymoma is an important disease in pediatric brain tumors, but reports with a large number of cases are scarce. In this study, we investigated the clinical course of 12 cases of ependymoma in children treated at our hospital.The median age was 2.5 years (0-15 years), and 10 had posterior fossa and 2 had supratentorial onset. Surgery was performed in all cases, and total resection was achieved in 9 cases (75%). Five cases were diagnosed as ependymoma, Grade II, and seven cases were diagnosed as anaplastic ependymoma, Grade III, according to the WHO revised 4th edition. Adjuvant therapy was administered in 8 patients, 6 with radiotherapy and 2 with combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Recurrence was seen in 6 cases, 4 of which were local recurrences and 2 of which were dissemination. The 2-year and 5-year progression-free survival rates were both 60%, and the 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 100% and 66.6%. Progression-free survival/overall survival analysis was performed, and the above results were considered to be equivalent to the published data of 27 cases (Peralia et al. Cell 2022). Progression-free survival tended to be favorable in patients with complete resection (HR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.025-1.28) and patients with supratentorial disease (HR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.030-1.11). No difference was seen by WHO grade (HR = 1.022, 95% CI: 0.20-5.24). Our cohort also yielded the same results regarding prognostic factors as previously reported, and WHO grade did not correlate with prognosis. The WHO 5th edition classification adopts molecular diagnosis and further subclassifies ependymoma. Since molecular diagnostics require advanced analytical techniques, there is a problem that it is difficult to put them into practical use, but surrogate markers that can be applied clinically have also been reported. This time, we will reclassify pediatric ependymoma using surrogate markers and compare it with the old classification.

Abstract INTRODUCTION The prognosis for patients with malignant gliomas of the brainstem is poor. As the tumor progresses into the medulla oblongata, the lower cranial nerves are affected, resulting in dysphagia and eventually respiratory paralysis. On the other hand, higher cerebral function is often preserved, making it a palliative medical issue whether to perform invasive procedures to secure the airway. We report here three characteristic cases treated at our hospital. CASE 1 A-60-year-old male patient with diffuse midline glioma of the medulla oblongata was admitted to our hospital for radiation therapy and concomitant temozolomide. His consciousness level was clear, but dysphagia was noted. Although he was at risk for aspiration and choking, he did not wish to undergo surgery to prevent aspiration. After treatment was started, he died of choking. CASE 2 A-50-year-old male patient with recurrent astrocytoma in the brainstem was admitted for bevacizumab monotherapy. Despite the treatment, his dysphagia gradually worsened, and he developed respiratory failure due to aspiration pneumonia, resulting in tracheal intubation. Subsequently, he underwent glottis closure, and as a result, he lost his speech but recurrence of aspiration pneumonia and choking were prevented. CASE 3 A-50-year-old male patient with cerebellar glioma invading brainstem was admitted due to aspiration pneumonia. He was disoriented and required heavy care. He did not wish to undergo surgery to prevent aspiration, but with antimicrobial therapy and frequent oral suctioning, his aspiration pneumonia was cured. DISCUSSION Although invasive procedures are generally avoided in terminal-stage cancer patients, anti-aspiration procedures such as tracheostomy and glottis closure may be considered for the conscious patients with malignant glioma in the brainstem. These procedures might be an option at the end of life to avoid painful death due to choking and to prevent deterioration of the patient's condition due to repeated aspiration pneumonia.
摘要简介脑干恶性胶质瘤患者预后较差。当肿瘤进展到延髓时,下颅神经受到影响,导致吞咽困难,最终导致呼吸麻痹。另一方面,高级脑功能通常被保留,这使得是否进行侵入性手术来保护气道成为一个姑息性医学问题。我们在此报告在本院治疗的三个典型病例。病例1一例60岁男性延髓弥漫性中线胶质瘤患者在我院接受放射治疗并联合使用替莫唑胺。他意识清醒,但有吞咽困难。虽然他有误吸和窒息的危险,但他不希望接受手术来防止误吸。在开始治疗后,他死于窒息。病例2:一名50岁男性脑干复发星形细胞瘤患者接受贝伐单抗单药治疗。尽管接受了治疗,但他的吞咽困难逐渐恶化,并因吸入性肺炎而出现呼吸衰竭,导致气管插管。随后,他接受了声门关闭手术,结果他失去了语言能力,但避免了吸入性肺炎和窒息的复发。病例3 a -50岁男性小脑胶质瘤侵犯脑干患者因吸入性肺炎入院。他神志不清,需要精心照料。他不希望接受手术以防止误吸,但通过抗菌治疗和频繁的口腔吸痰,他的吸入性肺炎被治愈了。尽管晚期癌症患者通常避免侵入性手术,但对于脑干恶性胶质瘤的有意识患者,可以考虑采用气管切开术和声门关闭等防误吸手术。这些程序可能是生命结束时的一种选择,以避免因窒息而痛苦死亡,并防止患者因反复吸入性肺炎而病情恶化。

Abstract Background: Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) is an important modality in brain tumor surgery to identify residual tumors, however, it is problematic due to patient positional limitations. In this study, we investigated the usefulness of iMRI for posterior fossa lesions. Materials and Methods: Of 320 cases of brain tumors removed using iMRI from June 2016 to April 2023, 24 cases of posterior fossa lesions were included. Tumor type, approach method, imaging availability, tumor removal rate, and complications were examined retrospectively. Results: Tumor types included 8 gliomas, 5 epidermoid cysts, 4 meningiomas, 3 metastatic brain tumors, 1 schwannoma, and 3 others. Eleven patients underwent midline suboccipital approach in the supine position, 8 patients underwent lateral suboccipital approach, 2 patients underwent occipital transtentorial approach, and 2 patients underwent anterior transpetrosal approach in the supine position. transpetrosal approach in 2 cases and subtemporal approach in 1 case. iMRI showed residual lesion in 14 of 24 patients. More than half of the gliomas and epidermoid cysts had intraoperative residual disease, whereas only one meningioma did. Total resection was achieved except for one case of intentional residual schwannoma and two cases of glioma. Discussion: iMRI requires the upper body to fit within a gantry, and it is difficult to image in the park bench position. However, various approaches is possible by using a supine-lateral or semi-prone position. In the concorde position, where the fourth ventricle and upper cerebellum are approached, it is useful to insert a mat in the anterior thoracic and raise the upper body. For tumors in the dorsal brainstem and upper cerebellum, the occipital transtentorial approach was used. iMRI is effective in the removal of all tumors, including gliomas in intramedullary tumors and epidermoid cysts in extramedullary tumors. Conclusion: iMRI can be used in posterior cranial fossa lesions.

Abstract BACKGROUND Recently, the presence of tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS), composed mainly of intratumoral B cells, has been reported as a favorable prognostic factor in various types of cancer. However, in glioblastoma, TLS has not been well studied though increased B-cell infiltration was likely to be related to improved prognosis. In this study, we performed spatial and genomic analyses in human glioblastoma, focusing on TLS. METHODS We evaluated lymphocytic infiltration by immunostaining in 54 cases. Flow cytometry was conducted on 12 prospective samples. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed in 43 cases to compare those with and without TLS by differential gene expression (DGE) analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). RESULTS TLS was detected in 5 (9.3%) of the 54 cases. Flow cytometry showed that 3 cases with TLS by immunostaining had higher numbers of T and B cells than those without TLS. DGE analysis showed increased gene expression related to the T cell activation marker (TNFRSF9), chemokine (CCL5), etc., in patients with TLS. GSEA also confirmed the activation of immune responses such as adaptive immune response and B cell receptor signaling pathway. We are currently validating these data with spatial transcriptome analysis and investigating the TLS formation in detail. DISCUSSION Although several TLS signatures and TLS components have been reported so far, the formation mechanism of TLS is still unknown. In addition, to our knowledge, there are no reports yet on spatial transcriptome analysis in multiple cases of glioblastoma focusing on the presence of TLS. CONCLUSION We analyzed a total of 54 glioblastoma cases by immunostaining. RNA-seq and spatial transcriptome analysis were performed to assess TLS in glioblastoma comprehensively.

Abstract High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are highly aggressive brain cancers characterized by the presence of hypoxia within a rapidly-growing tumor mass. Due to invasion to the surrounding brain parenchyma, these tumors commonly recur locally,, and novel local approaches are required. Here, we show a positron emission tomography (PET) integrated local therapy (PETx), to target HGGs. This technique consists of a one-step local theranostic application, followed by PET monitoring, with a hypoxia-targeting radiopharmaceutical64Cu-diacetyl-bis (N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) (64Cu-ATSM). We examined the safety and therapeutic potential of 64Cu-ATSM PETx for HGG patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors. PDX models were recapitulated the parent tumor phenotype of high expression of HIF-1 alpha and BNIP3, biomarkers of tissue hypoxia. We confirmed that HIF-1 alpha and BNIP3 were highly upregulated under hypoxia and 64Cu-ATSM was retained with potent cytotoxic effect under hypoxic condition in vitro. We determined that determined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to be 3.7 MBq in mouse. PETx using the MTD dose of 64Cu-ATSM indicated high tumor penetration, distribution, and retention of 64Cu-ATSM in PDX tumors, as compared to sham-treated mice. The 64Cu-ATSM PETx promoted DNA double-strand breaks, followed by apoptosis in tumors, and extensively prolonged overall survival with tolerable systemic toxicity. These findings indicate the potential of 64Cu-ATSM PETx to induce high uptake in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, and strong therapeutic effects in PDX models. These findings establish 64Cu-ATSM PETx as a potential novel theranostic approach to facilitate local control of HGGs.

Abstract We are conducting a clinical study of immunotherapy using tumor-fused dendritic cells (TFDC) as a modality of multidisciplinary treatment for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). In this study, we analyzed the additional effect of TFDC-immunotherapy for standard therapy. Newly diagnose GBM patients who treated at four of Jikei University Hospitals were analyzed in this study. Adjuvant therapy after tumor removal surgery was maintained according to the Supp's regimen. Bevacizumab (10 mg/kg, every 2 weeks) was added when a recurred tumor was confirmed. TFDC vaccine was generated from cultured tumor cells derived from autologous surgical specimen and dendritic cells from peripheral blood, and were subcutaneously administered in the cervical region for 3-14 times. All patients who had not participated in any other immunotherapy-related clinical studies were compared as a control group in a Propensity score matching analysis. The number of analyzed patients was 55 in the immunotherapy group and 35 in the control group. The 2-year survival rate and 5-year survival rate were 20.9% and 0% in the control group, respectively, while the immunotherapy group was 45.7% and 22.7%, respectively. A statistically significant difference in overall survival was observed between them (p=0.0045). There was no difference in the observed adverse events in the two groups. Specific adverse events for TFDC-immunotherapy was not observed. In the biomarker analysis, low HLA-A expression and lack of CCDC88A, KRT4, TACC2, and TONSL mutations in tumor cells were suggested as biomarkers of better prognosis. We are currently analyzing IDH profile in those patients for further analysis. TFDC-immunotherapy should be adopted as one of the modality of multidisciplinary treatments for GBM because it is expected to have some additional effects for standard therapeutic reagents without adversely affecting them. Since there are a certain number of poor responders for this immunotherapy, predictive biomarkers of therapeutic efficacy are awaited.

Abstract BACKGROUND Since the WHO2016 revision, required molecular markers has been increasing, placing a burden on clinical practice of diffuse gliomas. We established an in-house molecular diagnostic platform by Senshin-Iryo (meaning advanced medical care system) and have since been partially modifying the analysis method in accordance with the WHO2021 revision. We review our achievements in total 5 years. METHODS Analyses of IDH, BRAF, and H3 point mutations, loss of heterozygosity on 1p19q and chromosomes 10 and 17, and MGMT methylation were combined into a set and submitted as a Senshin-Iryo "Drug resistance gene testing for anticancer chemotherapy" and approved in August 2018. Subsequently, in October 2021, Sanger sequencing for TERT promotor mutation was added to the set and the LOH analysis was replaced to MLPA, in order to analyze 1p19q codeletion and newly required genetic markers; EGFR, PTEN, CDKN2A, etc. in WHO2021. RESULTS The cumulative number of cases has reached over 200. Among them, 54 cases were analyzed after WHO2021 revision. The laboratory has maintained the diagnostic platform in which molecular diagnoses are steadily confirmed generally within two weeks. The initial expenditure was exceeded the income obtained from the patient co-payment, however, it has gradually been reduced to running costs alone, then is approaching profitability. After WHO2021 revision, diagnoses could be confirmed by molecular markers obtained from Senshin-Iryo in 38 of 54 cases (70.1%). Among the remaining 16, only 4 (7.4%) cases remained diagnosed as diffuse glioma, NEC, exclusionary after 12 cases in which glioblastoma was confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Our Senshin-Iryo trial has functioned as a salvage system to overcome the current transition period in which the continuing revision of WHO classification causing a clinical dilemma of healthcare system.

Abstract Recently, cancer gene panel tests have been covered by insurance and their usefulness has been reported. In addition to the cancer gene panel tests covered by insurance, we are conducting the PleSSision-Rapid test, a cancer gene panel test that can measure 143 genes, as a clinical research project. The former has been used for 14 cases brain tumors, and the latter has been used for brain tumors in about 100 cases, respectively. The PleSSision-Rapid test has now completed analysis of 87 cases, with gliomas accounting for 33, meningiomas for 29, and metastatic brain tumors for 14 cases. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was high in 18 cases, and microsatellite instability was high in none. NTRK gene fusion was observed in 1 case. Of the 29 meningiomas, 9 were male and 20 female, ranging in age from 31 to 79 years (mean 57). Twenty of the cases were located at the skull base. Twenty four were primary cases, whereas 5 were recurrent cases. WHO grade 1, 2, and 3 were 23, 4, and 2, respectively. There was no difference in TMB among grades, and Ki-67 values increased with increasing grade. Comparing grade 1 and grade 2/3, NF2 and KDM6A were found to be significantly different in the rate of gene mutations. Grade 2/3 patients had a significantly higher frequency of copy number aberrations such as genes related to DNA repair, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling, than grade 1 patients,

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common type of primary malignant brain tumor and has a poor prognosis. Identifying novel targets and stratification strategies is urgently needed to improve patient survival. The present study aimed to identify clinically relevant genomic alterations in IDH-wildtype GBM using data from comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) assays performed nationwide in Japan. The CGP assay results of 392 IDH-wildtype GBM cases performed between October 2019 and February 2023 obtained from the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT) were retrospectively analyzed. The median patient age was 52.5 years, and 207 patients (53%) were male. In the 286 patients for whom survival information was available, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11) variant detected in 20 patients (6.8%) was extracted as the gene associated with significantly shorter overall survival (OS) (p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the PTPN11 variant and poor PS were independent prognostic indicators. In contrast, no prognostic impact was observed in the cohort in The Cancer Genome Atlas data. The discrepancy in the prognostic impact of the PTPN11 variant from these two pools might have resulted from differences in the biases affecting the survival of patients who underwent a CGP assay, including left-truncation and right-censored bias. However, survival simulation done to adjust for these biases showed that the prognostic impact of the PTPN11 variant was also significant, suggesting that the PTPN11 variant was a negative prognostic indicator of IDH-wildtype GBM in the patient cohort with the CGP assay.

Abstract BACKGROUND Management of leptomeningeal metastasis-related hydrocephalus (LM-H) is particularly challenging to control severe symptoms by intracranial hypertension. The aim of this study is assessment the outcomes of CSF diversion followed by systemic therapy for LM-H in patients with solid cancer. METHODS The authors reviewed 80 patients with LM-H required CSF diversion between October 2008 and May 2023. CSF diversion followed by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy was indicated when a patient had (1) controlled extra-CNS metastases and (2) systemic life expectancy longer than three months after control of LM. The outcomes were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier estimates. RESULTS The patients consisted of 49 women and 31 men with a mean age of 57 years (range 35-81) . Primary cancers were lung (NSCLC) in 47 (59%), breast (BC) in 16 (20%), gastric (GC) in 10 (13%), cholangiocarcinoma 1 and other cancer in 6. Forty patients (50%) underwent whole brain radiotherapy, 17 patients (21%) cranio-spinal irradiation, and 45 patients (56%) were administrated systemic chemotherapy after CSF diversion. CSF diversion yielded a rapid improvement of their performance status (PS) in 90%. The median OS was significantly longer in patients with maintenance chemotherapy than in those without chemotherapy (4.5 versus 2 months, p<0.001). The patients were classified with EANO-ESMO clinical practice guideline (cytology, MR findings and clinical findings). Type A (linear) in 34, B (Nodular) in 14, C (linear and nodular) in 13 ID (normal) in 19. Linear enhancement groups (IA+IC) were shorter survival than other nodular (IB) and normal findings (ID) (p=0.0038) in long survivor over 6 months. Post-surgical complications were infection in 3, peritoneal dissemination in 2, and shunt malfunction in 1. CONCLUSION Combination of CSF diversion and systemic therapy is a safe and effective strategy in patients with LM-H.
