A hypofractionated schedule should be preferred Exclusive chemotherapy with TMZ may be an adequate treatment in elderly patients with a methylated MGMT Take Home Messages: Grade III Glioma IDH mutation status identifies patients with a better prognosis No difference in overall survival if patients treated initially with T and chemo given at recurrence vs the alternate sequence chemo first, T at recurrence Oligodendroglioma p/9q co-deletion is a prognostic and predictive marker. Longer survival for co-deleted oligo s with (PCV-) chemotherapy given early in the course of disease (adjuvant or neo-adjuvant). No benefit of adjuvant PCV in non-deleted anaplastic astrocytomas. 7
Take Home Messages ecurrent Glioma TMZ is the agent of first choice in chemotherapy-naive patients Nitrosoureas remain a valid treatment in malignant glioma VEGF pathway inhibitors: failed to prolong survival in recurrent GBM the value of inducing radiological response and reduction of peritumoral edema is however undisputed. 8
