Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest adult primary brain tumor with an overall survival (OS) around 15 months and virtually inevitable sooner tumor progression.

  Delays in identifying progressive GBM risks neurologic decline, continuation of ineffective therapies, and increased tumor resistance to second-line treatments.  Improved confidence in determining tumor progression is an active topic in our field and available response criteria remains unvalidated.

We evaluated 622 pathology confirmed GBM (2006–2019) including radiographic, clinical, and pathomolecular data to identify integrated early indicators of progressive GBM.  T2/FLAIR hyperintensity (HrI) and T1 contrast enhancement within and around the resection cavity (RC) were evaluated in over 2,000 MRIs.  Clinical scores using Neurologic Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (NANO) at time-points prior to RCHrI, at time of RCHrI, and at time of RANO clinical progression were obtained.  T2/FLAIR intensity in the RC was quantified using specialized imaging software.  We further evaluated relationships between HrI and MGMT methylation status, MIB (high >30/low <30), time to HrI from diagnosis, time to progression (TTP), and OS. 
Total 153 cases included fit the rigorous criteria, 132 had progression; 98 (74%) had positive HrI and 34 patients (26%) had no HrI prior to RANO progression.  HrI development was associated with lower mean TTP (11.7mos vs 14mos) and mOS (19 vs 24mos), and higher NANO score. HrI was a poor prognostic indicator within the MGMT methylated group.  Mean TTP after HrI development was 3.4 months.

This two-phased retrospective/prospective validation study identifies RCHrI as an independent negative prognostic indicator in GBM with novel integration of clinical and pathomolecular markers offering a 3.4 month window for therapeutic intervention prior to RANO progression.  A multicentered prospective interventional clinical trial to test this has been submitted for formal review. There is also potential significance for concurrent validation of RANO and NANO as part of the prospective study.
