abstract = {BackgroundAmino acid PET using the tracer
O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) is one of the most
reliable imaging methods for detecting glioma recurrence.
Here, we hypothesized that functional MR connectivity
between the metabolic active recurrent tumor region and
resting-state networks of the brain could serve as a
prognostic imaging biomarker for overall survival
(OS).MethodsThe study included 82 patients (26–81 years;
median Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score,
0) with recurrent gliomas following therapy (WHO-CNS 2021
grade 4 glioblastoma, n = 57; grade 3 or 4 astrocytoma,
n = 12; grade 2 or 3 oligodendroglioma, n = 13)
diagnosed by FET PET simultaneously acquired with functional
resting-state MR. Functional connectivity (FC) was assessed
between tumor regions and 7 canonical resting-state
networks.ResultsWHO tumor grade and IDH mutation status were
strong predictors of OS after recurrence (P < .001).
Overall FC between tumor regions and networks was highest in
oligodendrogliomas and was inversely related to tumor grade
(P = .031). FC between the tumor region and the dorsal
attention network was associated with longer OS (HR, 0.88;
$95\%CI,$ 0.80–0.97; P = .007), and showed an
independent association with OS (HR, 0.90; $95\%CI,$
0.81–0.99; P = .033) in a model including clinical
factors, tumor volume and MGMT. In the glioblastoma
subgroup, tumor volume and FC between the tumor and the
visual network (HR, 0.90; $95\%CI,$ 0.82–0.99,
P = .031) were independent predictors of
survival.ConclusionsRecurrent gliomas exhibit significant FC
to resting-state networks of the brain. Besides tumor type
and grade, high FC between the tumor and distinct networks
could serve as independent prognostic factors for improved
OS in these patients.},
