abstract = {ackground: Maximum tumor resection improves overall
survival (OS) in patients with glioblastoma. The extent of
resection (EOR) is historically dichotomized. The RANO
resect group recently proposed criteria for volumetry-based
EOR assessment in patients that were treated according to
Stupp´s protocol. The purpose of this study was (1) to
investigate the prognostic value of EOR in patients
receiving combined chemotherapy with lomustine
(CCNU)/temozolomide (TMZ), and (2) to analyse the prognostic
performance of binary EOR assessment compared to volumetric
assessment.Methods: 78 patients with newly diagnosed
MGMT-methylated GBM undergoing tumor resection followed by
radiochemotherapy with CCNU/TMZ were included in this study.
Residual contrast-enhancing (CE) tumor volume after the
first resection was measured and its influence on OS and PFS
was analysed using uni- and multivariable Cox regression
analysis as well as two-sided log rank test. Patients were
divided into RTV ≤1 cm³, >1 cm³ - ≤5 cm³ and >5 cm³
following the proposed criteria of the RANO resect
group.Results: Prolonged OS was associated with age <60
years, low RTV, and gross total resection (GTR). Residual
tumor volume (RTV) had a superior prognostic value compared
to binary EOR assessment. Patients with total or near total
resection of CE tumor (≤1 cm³ RTV) showed prolonged OS
(median 54.4 months, $95\%$ CI 46.94-not reached), with a
5-year survival rate of $49\%.Conclusion:$ Low RTV is
associated with increased survival in glioblastoma patients
undergoing radiochemotherapy with CCNU/TMZ. This study
demonstrates the applicability of the recently proposed RANO
resect criteria in this subgroup of patients.Keywords:
