RESUMO

Objective: Chordoma is a slow-growing and locally aggressive cancer, which arises from the remnants of the primitive notochord. The first line treatment for the skull base chordoma is neurosurgery. Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) is often be chosen especially in the setting of residual or recurrent chordomas. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognosis of patients with skull base chordoma who underwent GKS. Methods: The present study was a retrospective analysis of 53 patients with skull base chordomas who underwent GKS. Univariate Cox and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between the tumor control time and the clinical characteristics. Results: The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year progression free survival (PFS) rates were 87, 71, 51, and 18%, respectively. After performing the univariate analysis, the clinical characteristics were not found to be significantly associated with the time of PFS; however, surgical history, peripheral dose, and tumor volume did have tendencies to predict the prognosis. Conclusion: GKS provided a safe and relatively effective treatment for residual or recurrent chordomas after surgical resection. A higher tumor control rate depends on two approaches, an appropriate dose of radiation for the tumor and the accurate identification of the tumor margins.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify morphologic and dosimetric features associated with volume reduction velocity for arteriovenous malformation (AVM) after dose-stage stereotactic radiosurgery (DS-SRS). METHODS: Thirty patients with intracranial AVM were treated with DS fractionated SRS at Beijing Tiantan Hospital from 2011 to 2019. The AVM nidus was automatically segmented from DICOMRT files using the 3D Slicer software. The change in lesion volume was obtained from the decrease in the planning target volume (PTV) between the two treatment sessions. The volume reduction velocity was measured by the change in volume divided by the time interval between treatments. Fourteen morphologic features of AVM prior to treatment were extracted from the PTV using 'Pyradiomics' implemented in Python. Along with other dosimetric features, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to explore predictors of the volume reduction velocity. RESULTS: Among the 15 male (50.0%) and 15 female (50.0%) patients enrolled in this study, 17 patients (56.7%) initially presented with hemorrhage. The mean treatment interval between the initial and second SRS was 35.73 months. In multivariate analysis, the SurfaceVolumeRatio was the only independent factor associated with the volume reduction velocity (p=0.010, odds ratio=0.720, 95% confidence interval: 0.560-0.925). The area under the curve of this feature for predicting the volume reduction velocity after the initial treatment of DS-SRS was 0.83. (p=0.0018). CONCLUSIONS: The morphologic features correlated well with the volume reduction velocity in patients with intracranial AVM who underwent DS-SRS treatment. The SurfaceVolumeRatio could predict the rate of volume reduction of AVMs after DS-SRS.
