    Abstract: According to EANO-ESMO clinical practice guidelines, the MRI findings of LM are divided into 4 types, namely linear enhancement (type A), nodular enhancement (type B), linear combined with nodular enhancement (type C), and sign of hydrocephalus (type D). METHODS The MRI features of brain and spinal cord in patients diagnosed with NSCLC-LM in Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital from 2010 until 2019 were investigated, and then were classified into 4 types. The imaging features were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the study. The median age of the patients was 53.5 years old, and the median time from the initial diagnosis to the confirmed diagnosis of LM was 11.6 months. The results of enhanced MRI examination of the brain in 79 cases showed that the number of cases with enhancements of type A, B, C and D were 50 (63.3%), 0, 26 (32.9%) and 3 (3.8%), respectively, and that LM with metastases to the brain parenchyma was found in 42 cases (53.2%). The results of enhanced MRI examination of spinal cord in 59 cases showed that there were only enhancements of type A and C in 40 cases (67.8%) and 3 cases (5.0%), and no enhancement sign in the other 16 cases (27.2%). CONCLUSION MRI examination of brain and spinal cord will improve the detection rate of LM. The MRI features of NSCLC-LM in real world are mainly characterized by the linear enhancements of brain and spinal cord, followed by linear combined with nodular enhancement. The enhancements of type B and type D are rare in clinic. Almost half of the patients have LM and metastases to the brain parenchyma. Therefore, the differentiation of tumor metastases is needed to be paid attention to for the early diagnosis and the formulation of reasonable treatment plans.

    Abstract: To retrospectively analyze the therapeutic effects of radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide versus radiotherapy with concomitant temozolomide alone for pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), and to evaluate the value of temozolomide in the treatment of pediatric DIPG. METHODS The clinical data of children with confirmed DIPG in Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital between January 1, 2010 and December 30, 2019 were collected. The inclusive criteria included (1) receiving a total radiotherapy dose of 54 Gy in 27 fractions, (2) treated with concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy, and (3) with or without adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy. RESULTS A total of 82 pediatric patients were eligible for the study, with a median age of 7 years (range 2–16 years). The median follow-up was 8.6 months (range 2–28 months) and the median survival time was 9.4 months. The median survival time of 66 patients treated with radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide was 9.8 months, longer than 7.5 months of the other 16 patients treated with radiotherapy with concomitant temozolomide alone, with statistical differences (P=0.010). Moreover, bevacizumab and nimotuzumab didn’t bring survival benefits to patients with disease recurrence or progression. Hematological toxicity (Grade IV) was not found. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide prolongs the survival time of children with DIPG.

    Abstract: Limited data is available in intracranial nongerminomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCTs) in Chinese population. Here we aimed to retrospectively assess the clinical-pathological and prognostic factors of NGGCTs in a single large institution in China. METHODS From June 2003 to December 2018, 111 consecutive NGGCTs were treated in Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital, China. RESULTS The median follow-up was 36.2 months (range, 1.2 to 131.2 months). Three-year EFS and OS for 111 NGGCTs patients were 78.5%±4.5% and 82.8%±4.0%, respectively. 98 patients received CSI plus boost yielded better survival than those who received reduced-volume radiotherapy or no radiotherapy (3y OS, 86.7% vs. 51.4%, p=0.007). Patients had at least four cycles of chemotherapy were strongly associated with improved 3-year OS, compared to those received less than 4 cycles (94.1% vs. 63.6%, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in survival of patients stratified by age, surgery, hydrocephalus, as well as tumor diameter. Multivariate analysis identified chemotherapy cycles less than 4 was the only prognostic factor that conferring a worse OS (p=0.003). Patients both received CSI and at least 4 courses of chemotherapy were correlated with lower incidence of relapse (p=0.044). CONCLUSIONS Multimodal approach including CSI and enough courses of chemotherapy was effective and should be recommended for the treatment of newly diagnosed NGGCTs in Chinese population.

    Abstract: Brain metastases (BMs) represent the most common adult intracranial malignancy. The prognosis of BMs is subject to many factors, i.e., the number, size and locations of the metastatic sites, tumor origins, pathologic types, gene mutation status, metastatic sites, and KPS etc. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) in brain metastases. METHODS A total of 480 patients diagnosed with brain metastases from a wide range of tumor origins, i.e., NSCLC, SCLC, breast cancer, melanoma, prostate, kidney, gastrointestinal cancer, cervical carcinoma, ovarian cancer, choriocarcinoma of uterus were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-radiotherapy NLR, PLR, and LMR were calculated as total neutrophil/lymphocyte, platelet/Lymphocyte, lymphocyte/monocyte, respectively. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Cox regression models were used to identify independent prognostic factors. RESULTS The median overall survival (OS) was 14.4 months [95%CI: 13.4-15.5]. The median overall survival after radiotherapy was significantly different between patients with NLR & lt; 4 and those with NLR≥4 (OS 16.3 mo. vs. 12.2 mo., P & lt; 0.0001). No significant difference was observed between PLR vs. OS, and LMR vs. OS (PLR & lt; 180: HR=1.221, P=0.240; LMR & lt; 4: HR=0.753, P=0.141). The Cox regression model for the continuous metric values revealed that the NLR increased every 1.0 was associated with additional 5.9% of fatal risk (HR: 1.059; 95%CI = 1.033–1.087, P & lt; 0.0001). NLR was validated as an independent prognostic factor for risk of death after adjusting for sex, age, and KPS. CONCLUSIONS We revealed pre-treatment NLR is an independent prognostic factor in patients with brain metastases for poor OS, independent of different tumor origins. The NLR warrants further studies using sub-group analysis and validation in external cohorts. Future studies in this parameter have a potential to facilitate more precise risk-stratifications to guide personalized treatment for BM.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of osimertinib for the treatment of leptomeningeal metastases (LM) from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to aggregate the clinical outcomes of patients with LM from EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with osimertinib. A comprehensive literature search for published and unpublished studies was implemented in April 2021 of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and several international conference databases, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Meta-analysis of proportions was conducted to calculate the pooled rate of overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), one-year overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs). Results A total of eleven studies (five prospective and six retrospective) including 353 patients were included. The majority of patients (346/353, 98.0%) received osimertinib as ≥ 2nd-line treatment for LM, either at a dosage of 80 mg (161/353, 45.6%) or 160 mg (191/353, 54.1%). The pooled rates of ORR and DCR were 42% (95% CI 24% to 59%) and 93% (95% CI 88% to 97%), respectively. The pooled one-year OS rate was 59% (95% CI 53% to 65%) in 233 patients from five studies. The highest incidence of AEs of all grades was rash (53%), followed by diarrhea (45%), paronychia (35%), decreased appetite (35%), and dry skin (27%), based on data from four studies. Conclusions Our study highlighted and confirmed the meaningful efficacy and a manageable safety profile of osimertinib for the treatment of LM from EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a detrimental complication of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its incidence has increased due to recent improvements in survival. The aim of this study was to identify the clinicolpathological features and prognostic factors related to overall survival in NSCLC patients with LM. METHODS: Seventy-four consecutive patients diagnosed with LM from NSCLC between 2009 and 2018 in Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Median KPS at diagnosis of LM were 60 (range, 20–90). Forty-seven (63.5%) patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplasticlymphoma kinase (ALK) mutation while other twenty-seven patients (36.5%) were wild type or unknown status. Local treatment for LM consisted of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) (52.7%), ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt (6.8%) and external drainage (6.8%). Systematic therapy for LM included EGFR or ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) (59.5%), chemotherapy (40.5%) and bevacizumab (8.1%). The median overall survival from diagnosis of LM to death was 8.1 months (95% confidence interval: 5.2 to 11.0). Patients with high Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level (>50ng/ml) had worse prognosis compared with those low CSF CEA level (≤50ng/ml) ones (p=0.02). However, there was no significant difference in survival between patients with high serum CEA and those with low serum CEA (p=0.645). EGFR/ALK mutation and EGFR/ALK TKI after LM were also identified as variables that had prognostic influence on survival, while KPS, concurrent brain metastasis, WBRT and chemotherapy had no prognostic value for survival. CONCLUSION: Median overall survival was higher than historical experience in this retrospective analysis. It is CSF CEA level, but not serum CEA level that correlated with prognosis for LM from NSCLC.

    Abstract: Metastatic pituitary carcinoma accounted for only 1% of pituitary lesions. Methods Patients with isolated pituitary metastatic carcinoma admitted to our hospital from 2014 to 2018 were retrospectively collected, clinical features and prognosis were analyzed. Results A total of 5 patients (4 males and 1 female) with a median age of 48 years (21 to 66 years) were included, all with single intracranial pituitary nodules as the initial clinical presentation. The related symptoms were visual impairment (5/5 cases), hypopituitarism (5/5 cases), visual field defect (5/5 cases), headache (4/5 cases), hypothyroidism (4/5 cases), diabetes insipidus (2/5 cases). All the 5 patients received surgical resection (total or partial resection) of tumors in the sellar region via nasal sphenoidal approach. Postoperative pathology confirmed that 4 cases were metastatic adenocarcinoma and 1 case was metastatic squamous carcinoma. Further imaging examinations, such as CT or whole-body PET/CT, confirmed that the primary lesions of all the 5 patients were from the lung. Gene testing indicated that 3 of the 4 adenocarcinoma patients were EGFR mutation positive and 1 of the 4 adenocarcinoma patients was ROS1 mutation positive. Patients received radiotherapy (5/5 cases), targeted therapy (4/5 cases), or chemotherapy (1/5 cases) after surgery. Survival follow-up to May 2019 showed that 4 patients had died, with a survival of 2, August, 28, and 30 months, respectively, and 1 patient was still alive with a survival of 4 months. Conclusion The first clinical manifestation of isolated pituitary metastatic carcinoma is nervous system related symptoms, which is easily misdiagnosed. The most of the primary lesions are from lung, especially lung adenocarcinoma with positive driver gene. Surgery, radiotherapy combined with targeted therapy or chemotherapy can provide survival benefits for patients with pituitary metastatic carcinoma.
