摘要
Recent developments in molecular diagnostics, especially the determination of a beneficial impact of the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosomes 1p and 19q, are influencing scientific and clinical studies on anaplastic glioma. Results from the new EORTC 26951 and RTOG 9402 studies imply the differentiation of tumors with and without LOH 1p/19q in the near future. This review discusses the state of the art in imaging, surgery, and the radio- as well as chemotherapy of anaplastic gliomas. Future concepts for an evaluation of radiochemotherapy with temozolomide for anaplastic gliomas without LOH 1p/19q, and analysis of the relevance of this combined modality treatment on overall survival, are outlined. The therapeutic challenge for anaplastic gliomas with a better prognosis (with LOH 1p/19q) is the identification of an experimental study arm that allows a prolongation of overall and not just progression-free survival in this patient cohort. © Springer Medizin Verlag 2006.
