    Abstract: e14046 Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) grade IV represents the most frequent and aggressive primary brain tumor. Despite complete surgical resection, GBM infiltrative potential leads to local recurrence rates of around 100%. Standard treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) according Stupp regimen aims to reduce relapse and improve survival, but toxicities associated with these therapies represent a problem in elderly unfit population. O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status has been recognized as a predictive factor of response to alkylating agents as temozolomide. We aimed to compare overall survival (OS) results in elderly GBM patients according with MGMT promoter status and systemic treatment after surgery. Methods: We performed a database from the information available from RETSINE (Registro Nacional Español de Tumores de Sistema Nervioso Central). We selected ≥ 65 years GBM diagnosed patients. Relevant information was tumor MGMT promoter methylation status and adjuvant CT and/or RT after resection. Kaplan- Meier analysis was performed. Selected outcome was OS and 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p value 〈 0.05 were used as measures of statistical significance. Results: We identified 400 eligible GBM patients diagnosed ≥ 65 years (male = 232- 58%; female = 168-42% ). According tumor MGMT status: 125 (31.3%) methylated tumors, 115 (28.7%) non methylated and 160 unknown MGMT status. Included population median age was 72 years (65-88 years). Median global population OS was 7.93 months (IC95% 6.84-9.02). Survival analysis showed better OS for methylated tumors group, median OS 7.33 (IC 95%4.1-10.56) vs. unmethylated OS 7.06 (IC95% 4.9-9.1) (p = 0.021). Survival analysis in methylated patients showed improved OS in patients treated with RT + CT vs. no adjuvant therapy. Median OS for methylated patients treated with CT + RT was 11.46m (IC95%7.6-15.9) vs 9.6 months with only RT(IC95%3.67-7.26) and 2.1m with no treatment (IC95%2.03-3.76) p = 0,00. Unmethylated patients median OS was 9.36m (IC95%3.67-7.26) for RT-CT, 5.4 m (IC95%2.37-8.42) for RT only and 2.76 (IC95% 1.37-4.15) for no treatment p = 0.00. Conclusions: Elderly GBM patients have similar treatment options than young patients and comprise surgical resection, RT and alkylating CT with temozolomide. Comorbidities and performance status have relevant implications in elderly population treatment decisions. The MGMT promoter status has been described as a prognostic and predictive marker of response to temozolomide. In our series both methylated and unmethylated patients can benefit with systemic treatment.

    Abstract: e14047 Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain primary tumor. Almost all patients have recurrent disease after initial treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After disease recurrence, there is no standardized treatment and reoperation is common but there is no proven benefit in randomized trials. Here we retrospectively review the Spanish national database to identify the frequency of reoperations in recurrent GBM and to analyze the impact of surgery on survival in this setting. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed relapsed GBM patients from the Spanish national database RETSINE (Registro Nacional Español de Tumores del Sistema Nervioso Central) supported by the GEINO group. Kaplan-Meier curves and log rank test were used to compare survival. Results: The number of patients with recurrent GBM analyzed was 538, 40% were women and 60% were men. The MGMT status was: methylated 30.9%, unmethylated 33.8%, unknown 35.3%. A total of 89.9% of the patients received radiotherapy and 88.7% received chemotherapy after initial surgery. The median progression-free survival until first recurrence was 7.63 months (IC95% 6.97-8.29). Median overall survival (OS) from GBM diagnosis was 11.96 months (IC95% 10.69- 23.23). At the time of the first progression, surgery was performed in 75 patients, (13.9%), 18 cases were treated with a second radiotherapy (3.3%), second line CT was administered in 268 patients (49.6%), 221 cases received only chemotherapy (40.9%), 47 cases were treated with both surgery and chemotherapy (8.7%); 28 were treated with surgery without chemotherapy (5.2%), 19 cases had a surgery procedure but we have no data about CT, 223 cases did nor receive CT nor surgery (41%). Median overall survival after relapse was 4.06 months (IC95% 3.25-4.87). For those patients without surgery, median OS after relapse was 3.1 m (IC95% 2.84-3.71) and for patients reoperated, median OS was 12.2 m (IC95% 10.8-13.52) p=0.00 Median overall survival after relapse was 1.7 months (IC95% (IC 1.31-2.08) for patients that did not had CT and 7.03 for those with CT(IC95%5.9-8.16) p=0.00 We also compared the results from different treatment options: median OS was 1.6 m (IC95% 1.11-2.08), for patients without treatment; 6.33 m (IC95% 5.34-7.32) for patients treated with chemotherapy; 12.2 m (IC95%11.05-13.34) for patients treated with surgery and CT;12.1 m(IC95% 4.64-19.55) for patients with surgery. Conclusions: Recurrent glioblastoma is a very aggressive disease. In this retrospective study, patients treated with surgery and surgery and CT could have a clinical benefit in terms of survivalin comparison with those not treated with reoperation. Randomized prospective trials are needed to clarify the role of surgery in recurrent GBM.
