Abstract
BACKGROUND: Diffuse gliomas of the brain represent a heterogeneous group, which differs in age of the disease onset, histologic characteristics, tumor grade, molecular genetic markers and prognosis.
AIM: of the present study is to identify the factors, which affect the duration of the relapse-free period and life expectancy in patients with diffuse brain gliomas, based on a comprehensive analysis of clinical syndromes and symptoms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out at the Departments of Neurosurgery and Nerve Diseases of the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy (Saint Petersburg, Russia). It included 390 in-patients with diffuse brain gliomas who underwent treatment over the periods of 2014–2022 and 2004–2006. Age at time of diagnosis was 45.26 ± 15.72 years old. The study included 218 (55.9%) male and 172 (44.1%) female patients. It was a single-centre prospective study.
RESULTS: of the author’s research. Favourable demographic factors include the age range of 18–39 (relapse-free period duration p < 0.01, life expectancy p < 0.001) and female sex (relapse-free period p = 0.02, life expectancy p = 0.03). Prognostically favourable clinical manifestations include epileptic seizures before surgery (relapse-free period p < 0.01, life expectancy p < 0.02); unfavourable clinical manifestations are pyramidal syndrome (relapse-free period p < 0.01, life expectancy p < 0.001), sensitive disorders (relapse-free period p = 0.045–0.12, life expectancy p = 0.09–0.17), speech pathology (relapse-free period p < 0.02, life expectancy p = 0.02–0.12) and cerebellar syndrome (relapse-free period p < 0.02, life expectancy p < 0.001). Clinical signs such as headache, nausea and vomiting, asthenia, diffuse neurological symptoms, craniocerebral nerve involvement and visual impairment do not affect (p > 0.05) the outcomes of the patients with diffuse brain gliomas.
CONCLUSION: Thus, favourable demographic prognostic factors include female sex and age range of 18–39, favourable clinical prognostic factors include epileptic seizures before surgery. Unfavourable clinical prognostic factors include presence of motor, sensory disorders, speech impairment and cerebellar syndrome.
