abstract = {Immunohistochemical data based on
isocitrate–dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status have
redefined glioma as a whole-brain disease, while occult
tumor cell invasion along white matter fibers is inapparent
in conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The
functional and prognostic impact of focal glioma may however
relate to the extent of white matter involvement. We used
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate
microstructural characteristics of whole-brain
normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) in relation to
cognitive functions as potential surrogates for occult white
matter involvement in glioma. Twenty patients (12
IDH-mutated) and 20 individually matched controls were
preoperatively examined using DTI combined with a
standardized neuropsychological examination. Tumor lesions
including perifocal edema were masked, and fractional
anisotropy (FA) as well as mean, radial, and axial
diffusivity (MD, RD, and AD, respectively) of the remaining
whole-brain NAWM were determined by using Tract-Based
Spatial Statistics and histogram analyses. The relationship
between extratumoral white matter integrity and cognitive
performance was examined using partial correlation analyses
controlling for age, education, and lesion volumes. In
patients, mean FA and AD were decreased as compared to
controls, which agrees with the notion of microstructural
impairment of NAWM in glioma patients. Patients performed
worse in all cognitive domains tested, and higher anisotropy
and lower MD and RD values of NAWM were associated with
better cognitive performance. In additional analyses,
IDH-mutated and IDH-wildtype patients were compared.
Patients with IDH-mutation showed higher FA, but lower MD,
AD, and RD values as compared to IDH-wildtype patients,
suggesting a better preserved microstructural integrity of
NAWM, which may relate to a less infiltrative nature of
IDH-mutated gliomas. Diffusion-based phenotyping and
monitoring microstructural integrity of extratumoral
whole-brain NAWM may aid in estimating occult white matter
involvement and should be considered as a complementary
biomarker in glioma.},
