Predicting the probability of meningioma recurrence based on the quantity of peritumoral brain edema on computerized tomography scanning.

Abstract：

OBJECT:The goal of this study was to determine whether the quantity of peritumoral brain edema displayed on computerized tomography (CT) scanning could be correlated with brain invasion and subsequent recurrence of meningiomas. METHODS:One hundred thirty-five patients who underwent resection of intracranial meningiomas at the Ottawa Civic Hospital were followed during the period 1980 to 1998. A complete resection was defined as one in which tumor, invaded bone, and involved dura were removed. Tumors were examined microscopically for evidence of brain invasion. The mean follow-up period was 9 +/- 4 years (standard deviation [SD]) and the mean time to recurrence was 5 +/- 4 years (SD). The authors used a simple grading system based on the average thickness (in centimeters) of edema seen on an axial CT slice showing the most tumor. Edema grade was linearly related to edema volume determined by digitizing the scans (r = 0.96; 29 cases). The chance of brain invasion increased by 20% for each centimeter of edema (r(s) = 1, p < 0.0001; 124 cases). The presence of brain invasion was predictive of recurrence after complete resection with an accuracy of 83%, a sensitivity of 89%, and a specificity of 82%. The chance of recurrence within 10 years after complete resection was given by the equation: percentage chance of recurrence = (centimeter of edema)3 x 0.7, which can be used to predict the chance of recurrence based on findings on CT scans (r(s) = 1, p < 0.0001; 86 patients). Statistical significance was confirmed using Kaplan-Meier and univariate and multivariate analyses. Completeness of resection was the most powerful predictor of recurrence (p < 0.00001, r = 0.6), followed by edema grade and brain invasion (both p = 0.02, r = 0.1). Patient age and gender and tumor location, size, and histological subtype were nonsignificant factors. CONCLUSIONS:Brain invasion causes peritumoral edema. Invaded brain tissue is also the source of residual cells in cases of tumor recurrence after gross-total resection.
