Aim and Background.
Inoperable high-grade gliomas (HGGs) comprise a specific group of brain tumors portending a very poor prognosis.
In the absence of surgical management, radiation therapy (RT) offers the primary local treatment modality for inoperable HGGs.
Optimal target definition for radiation treatment planning (RTP) of HGGs is a difficult task given the diffusely infiltrative nature of the disease.
In this context, detailed multimodality imaging information may add to the accuracy of target definition in HGGs.
We evaluated the impact of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) definition for RTP of inoperable HGGs in this study.
Materials and Methods.
Twenty-five inoperable patients with a clinical diagnosis of HGG were included in the study.
GTV definition was based on Computed Tomography- (CT-) simulation images only or both CT-simulation and MR images, and a comparative assessment was performed to investigate the incorporation of MRI into RTP of HGGs.
Results.
Median volume of GTV acquired by using CT-simulation images only and by use of CT and MR images was 65.3 (39.6-94.3) cc and 76.1 (46.8-108.9) cc, respectively.
Incorporation of MRI into GTV definition has resulted in a median increase of 12.61% (6%-19%) in the volume of GTV defined by using the CT-simulation images only, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusion.
Incorporation of MRI into RTP of inoperable HGGs may improve GTV definition and may have implications for dose escalation/intensification strategies despite the need for further supporting evidence.
