I have a patient in his early 60s with an unresectable, infratentorial Grade II astrocytoma with cerebellar involvement.
Generally, we treat patients who have low grade disease with radiation therapy alone.
Is there a role for adding in temozolomide for a patient like this man?
![Page 29: Monday Night with Research To Practice: An 8-Part Live CME Webcast Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568144fe550346895db1c8de/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

I am treating a 27-year-old woman with a resected anaplastic astrocytoma. She is receiving radiation therapy/temozolomide and tolerating therapy well.
Would the thought leaders consider adding bevacizumab to temozolomide in an off-protocol setting, given her age, after she finishes chemo/radiation?

Clinical Features, Mechanisms, and Management of Pseudoprogression in Malignant Gliomas
Brandsma D et al.
Lancet Oncol 2008;9(5):453-61.
![Page 38: Monday Night with Research To Practice: An 8-Part Live CME Webcast Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568144fe550346895db1c8de/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Brandsma D et al. Lancet Oncol 2008;9(5):453-61.
Clinical Features of Pseudoprogression
• Discordance between the radiologic findings and the clinical status — most patients are asymptomatic
• Lesions decrease in size or stabilize without additional treatments
• Can occur in up to 20% of patients who have been treated with temozolomide plus radiation therapy
• Can explain ~ 50% of all cases of MRI-progression
• Adjuvant temozolomide should be continued

Response Criterion
Complete Response Complete disappearance of all enhancing measurable and non-measurable disease sustained for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; no corticosteroids; stable or improved clinically
Partial Response ≥ 50% decrease compared with baseline in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of all measurable enhancing lesions sustained for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; stable or reduced corticosteroid dose; and stable or improved clinically
Stable Disease Does not qualify for complete response, partial response, or progression; and stable clinically
Progression ≥ 25% increase in sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions; any new lesion; or clinical deterioration
Wen PY et al. J Clin Oncol 2010;28(11):1963-72.
Current McDonald Criterion
![Page 41: Monday Night with Research To Practice: An 8-Part Live CME Webcast Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568144fe550346895db1c8de/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Wen PY et al. J Clin Oncol 2010;28(11):1963-72.
Select RANO Criterion
• Progression within 12 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy can only be defined using diagnostic imaging if there is a new enhancement outside of the radiation field or if there is viable tumor on histology.
![Page 42: Monday Night with Research To Practice: An 8-Part Live CME Webcast Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568144fe550346895db1c8de/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Recently, I treated two men in their 40s who had GBMs with nearly complete resections and radiation therapy/temozolomide.
I sent them to Duke and both were put on bevacizumab and continued temozolomide. That’s in variance with many of our consultants in Boston, who do not tend to use bevacizumab as initial adjuvant therapy.
Any thoughts?
![Page 54: Monday Night with Research To Practice: An 8-Part Live CME Webcast Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568144fe550346895db1c8de/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

I was intrigued by reports at ASCO this year, which raised the issue of whether radiation therapy was indicated in elderly patients with GBM. What do the investigators think about that data?
Treating patients with temozolomide alone would probably result in a big improvement in quality-of-life for some patients.
