We report preliminarily results of an international retrospective study (NCT03439332) analyzing the prognostic value of the early assessment of vascular architecture of glioblastoma (GBM).

The initial cohort included 300 pts treated at 7 European hospitals. Multiparametric images were processed by Oncohabitats (www.oncohabitats.upv.es) to obtain the cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) from 4 automatically delimited regions of interest (ROIs): high angiogenic tumor (HAT), low angiogenic tumor (LAT), infiltrating peripherial edema (IPE), and vasogenic peripherial edema (VPE). Uniparametric Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier analysis were developed to test prognostic and stratification capabilities of each biomarker.

115 pre-surgical MRIs passed quality controls and were included in the analysis. Median follow up was 12.9 months (m) (IQR: 9.2-17.6). 73 pts (63.5%) were male. 54 pts (47%) underwent total resection; 84 pts (73%) received adjuvant temozolomide. Median OS was 13.6 m (95%CI:12.1-15.2). Cox regression analysis yielded a significant correlation between OS and maximum rCBV and rCBF in HAT and LAT (Table), independent of the extent of resection. Median OS by Kaplan-Meier analysis in patients with high and low vascularity is shown in the Table.

Our preliminarily results shows that patients with lower vascularity (rCBV or rCBF) in vascular habitats inside enhancing tumor region (HAT and LAT) is associated with higher OS, and could improve patient stratification. Our results are consistent with our pilot study [1], Validation in large multicentric studies is underway.
