abstract = {Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common malignant primary
brain tumors in adults and have a dismal prognosis. Patients
frequently suffer from local tumor recurrences, with limited
therapeutic options. Re-irradiation represents a possible
intervention, but given the recent 5th edition of the World
Health Organization classification of central nervous system
tumors, studies in isocitrate dehydrogenase wild type
(IDH-wt) cohorts undergoing a second course of radiotherapy
remain limited. Herein, we sought to describe our
institutional experience and outcomes after GBM IDH-wt
re-irradiation.GBM patients with confirmed IDH-wt status
undergoing re-irradiation were included in this
single-center, retrospective analysis.A total of 88 patients
were analyzed. The median clinical and radiographic
follow-up periods were 4.6 months and 4.4 months,
respectively. Most patients had a Karnofsky performance
status of at least $80\%$ (n = 57). The median biologically
effective dose and 2 Gy equivalent dose (EQD2) for
re-irradiations, assuming an α/β ratio of 10 Gy for GBM,
were 51.4 and 42.8 Gy, respectively. In total, 71 deaths
were recorded. The median overall survival (OS) was 8.0
months. Multivariable Cox regression of OS revealed a
positive influence of gross total resection vs. biopsy or no
resection (hazard ratio: 0.43, p = 0.02). The median
progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.9 months. The
multivariable Cox regression for PFS did not detect any
significant factors. No clear evidence of radiation necrosis
was recorded during the available follow-up. However, only a
minority (n = 4) of patients underwent surgery after
re-irradiation, none showing histopathological proof of
radiation necrosis.The prognosis for recurrent IDH-wt GBM
after re-irradiation is poor. Patients who are amenable and
able to undergo re-resection may have a favorable OS. A
second course of radiotherapy with a moderate cumulative
EQD2 and small- to medium-sized planning target volumes
appeared safe regarding the occurrence of radiation
necrosis.},
