Association between hippocampal dose and memory in survivors of childhood or adolescent low-grade glioma: a 10-year neurocognitive longitudinal study.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Hippocampal avoidance has been suggested as a strategy to reduce short-term memory decline in adults receiving whole-brain radiation therapy (RT). The purpose of this study was to determine whether the hippocampal dose in children and adolescents undergoing RT for low-grade glioma was associated with memory, as measured by verbal recall. METHODS:Eighty patients aged at least 6 years but less than 21 years with low-grade glioma were treated with RT to 54 Gy on a phase II protocol. Patients underwent age-appropriate cognitive testing at baseline, 6 months posttreatment, yearly through 5 years posttreatment, year 7 or 8, and year 10 posttreatment. Random coefficient models were used to estimate the longitudinal trends in cognitive assessment scores. RESULTS:Median neurocognitive follow-up was 9.8 years. There was a significant decline in short-delay recall (slope = -0.01 standard deviation [SD]/year, P < 0.001), total recall (slope = -0.09 SD/y, P = 0.005), and long-delay recall (slope = -0.01 SD/y, P = 0.002). On multivariate regression, after accounting for hydrocephalus, decline in short-delay recall was associated with the volume of right (slope = -0.001 SD/y, P = 0.019) or left hippocampus (slope = -0.001 SD/y, P = 0.025) receiving 40 Gy (V40 Gy). On univariate regression, decline in total recall was only associated with right hippocampal dosimetry (V40 Gy slope = -0.002, P = 0.025). In children <12 years, on univariate regression, decline in long-delay recall was only associated with right (V40 Gy slope = -0.002, P = 0.013) and left (V40 Gy slope = -0.002, P = 0.014) hippocampal dosimetry. CONCLUSION:In this 10-year longitudinal study, greater hippocampal dose was associated with a greater decline in delayed recall. Such findings might be informative for radiation therapy planning, warranting prospective evaluation.
