Resum

Purpose The presurgical discrimination of IDH-mutant astrocytoma grade 4 from IDH-wildtype glioblastoma is crucial for patient management, especially in younger adults, aiding in prognostic assessment, guiding molecular diagnostics and surgical planning, and identifying candidates for IDH-targeted trials. Despite its potential, the full capabilities of DSC-PWI remain underexplored. This research evaluates the differentiation ability of relative-cerebral-blood-volume (rCBV) percentile values for the enhancing and non-enhancing tumor regions compared to the more commonly used mean or maximum preselected rCBV values. Methods This retrospective study, spanning 2016–2023, included patients under 55 years (age threshold based on World Health Organization recommendations) with grade 4 astrocytic tumors and known IDH status, who underwent presurgical MR with DSC-PWI. Enhancing and non-enhancing regions were 3D-segmented to calculate voxel-level rCBV, deriving mean, maximum, and percentile values. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test and AUC-ROC. Results The cohort consisted of 59 patients (mean age 46; 34 male): 11 astrocytoma-4 and 48 glioblastoma. While glioblastoma showed higher rCBV in enhancing regions, the differences were not significant. However, non-enhancing astrocytoma-4 regions displayed notably higher rCBV, particularly in lower percentiles. The 30th rCBV percentile for non-enhancing regions was 0.705 in astrocytoma-4, compared to 0.458 in glioblastoma (p = 0.001, AUC-ROC = 0.811), outperforming standard mean and maximum values. Conclusion Employing an automated percentile-based approach for rCBV selection enhances differentiation capabilities, with non-enhancing regions providing more insightful data. Elevated rCBV in lower percentiles of non-enhancing astrocytoma-4 is the most distinguishable characteristic and may indicate lowly vascularized infiltrated edema, contrasting with glioblastoma’s pure edema.
