Abstract
Background
Gliomas with IDH1/2 mutations without 1p19q codeletion have been identified as the distinct diagnostic entity of IDH mutant astrocytoma (IDHmut astrocytoma). Homozygous deletion of Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitor A/B (CDKN2A/B) has recently been incorporated in the grading of these tumors. The question of whether histologic parameters still contribute to prognostic information on top of the molecular classification, remains unanswered. Here we evaluated consensus histologic parameters for providing additional prognostic value in IDHmut astrocytomas.
Methods
An international panel of seven neuropathologists scored 13 well-defined histologic features in virtual microscopy images of 192 IDHmut astrocytomas from EORTC trial 22033-26033 (low-grade gliomas) and 263 from EORTC 26053 (CATNON) (1p19q non-codeleted anaplastic glioma). For 192 gliomas the CDKN2A/B status was known. Consensus (agreement ≥ 4/7 panelists) hi stologic features were tested together with homozygous deletion (HD) of CDKN2A/B for independent prognostic power.
Results
Among consensus histologic parameters, the mitotic count (cut-off of 2 mitoses per 10 high power fields standardized to a field diameter of 0.55 mm and an area of 0.24 mm 2) significantly influences PFS (p = 0.0098) and marginally the OS (p = 0.07). Mitotic count also significantly affects the PFS of tumors with HD CDKN2A/B, but not the OS, possibly due to limited follow-up data.
Conclusion
The mitotic index (cut-off 2 per 10 40x HPF) is of prognostic significance in IDHmut astrocytomas without HD CDKN2A/B. Therefore, the mitotic index may direct the therapeutic approach for patients with IDHmut astrocytomas with native CDKN2A/B status.
