This study assessed the clinicopathological features and outcomes of secondary gliosarcomas (SGS) through retrospective analysis of data. The results showed that initial diagnosis of GBM was a poor prognostic factor for SGS. Patients with initial non-GBM diagnosis who underwent gross total resection and chemoradiation had better overall survival outcomes. Patients initially diagnosed with GBM who received both chemoradiotherapy and active therapy after disease progression to SGS had significantly longer overall survival.
IntroductionSecondary gliosarcomas (SGS) are rare malignancies that are diagnosed subsequent to pre-existing glioma. Clinical features and optimal treatment strategies for SGS have not been conclusively established. This study aimed to assess the clinicopathological features and outcomes of SGS. MethodsWe assessed the clinicopathological features and outcomes of SGS via retrospective analysis of data for SGS patients at Tangdu Hospital. Data from SGS patients in prior publications were also analyzed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. ResultsEighteen SGS patients who had been treated at Tangdu Hospital between 2013 and 2020 were enrolled in this study. Additional 89 eligible SGS patients were identified from 39 studies. The median age for the patients was 53 years old, and the most common location was the temporal lobe. The most common initial diagnosis was glioblastoma (GBM) (72.0%). Radiology revealed enhanced masses in 94.8% (73/77) of patients. Ten patients (10/107, 9.35%) had extracranial metastases at or after SGS diagnosis. Patients with initial diagnosis of non-GBM and who were younger than 60 years of age were significantly associated with a long duration of disease progression to SGS. After SGS diagnosis, patients with initial non-GBM diagnosis, gross total resection and chemoradiotherapy exhibited prolonged survival outcomes. Patients who had been initially diagnosed with GBM and received both chemoradiotherapy and active therapy after disease progression to SGS, had a significantly longer overall survival than patients who did not. ConclusionInitial diagnosis of GBM was a poor prognostic factor for SGS. Patients who underwent gross total resection and chemoradiation had better overall survival outcomes than those who did not. However, during treatment, clinicians should be cognizant of possible extracranial metastases.
