Abstract

Tumor recurrence is difficult to predict in patients receiving laser ablation for intracranial malignancy. We assessed the efficacy of the initial area under the time-to-signal intensity curve at 60 seconds (iAUC60) from dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging in predicting progression-free survival in patients with brain metastases following laser interstitial thermal therapy. The study population was a consecutive series of patients undergoing laser interstitial thermal therapy for brain metastases. Patient demographics including age, sex, tumor histology, and Karnofsky Performance Scale were collected prospectively. Preoperative, postoperative, and 1-month follow-up dynamic contrast-enhanced MRIs were analyzed. Values of iAUC60 were computed using a trapezoidal rule applied to the time history of contrast uptake over the first 60 seconds postenhancement. The change in iAUC60 (ΔiAUC60) was calculated by taking the difference between the values of iAUC60 from 2 time points. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between progression-free survival, defined as the time from laser interstitial thermal therapy to tumor recurrence, and iAUC60 or ΔiAUC60 values. Thirty-three cases of laser interstitial thermal therapy for 32 b...Continue Reading
