450 brain tumor patients reveal key survival clues
NCT ID NCT07342699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at 450 people who had surgery for a rare type of brain tumor (cerebellar glioma). Researchers wanted to see if where the tumor was located and its genetic makeup could predict how much of the tumor could be safely removed and how long patients lived. The goal is to help doctors better plan treatment and predict outcomes for future patients.

Who is studied
Study Population Description The study group is 450 consecutive patients treated at a single high-volume neuro-oncology center (West China Hospital and its Longquan branch) who underwent primary microsurgical resection for a newly diagnosed glioma that arose wholly within the cerebellum. * \*\*Age span\*\*: 3-78 years (median 38 years); 52.7 % ≤ 40 y, 47.3 % \> 40 y * \*\*Sex\*\*: 244 males (54.3 %), 206 females (45.7 %) * \*\*Tumor origin by cerebellar sub-site\*\* * Cerebellar hemisphere 223 (49.6 %) * Vermis 141 (31.3 %) * Fourth ventricle 67 (14.9 %) * Pontocerebellar-angle region 19 (4.2 %) * \*\*WHO grade at resection\*\*: Low-grade (I-II) 291 (64.7 %); High-grade (III-IV) 159 (35.3 %) * \*\*Pre-operative functional status\*\*: Median KPS 80 (IQR 70-90) * \*\*Molecular profile (full cohort tested)\*\* * IDH-mutant 152 (33.7 %), IDH-wild-type 298 (66.3 %) * 1p/19q codeleted 97 (21.5 %) * MGMT promoter methylated 161 (35.7 %) * TERT promoter mutant 83 (18.4 %)

Inclusion Criteria * Pathologically proven cerebellar glioma (hemisphere, vermis, fourth ventricle, or pontocerebellar-angle region) per 2021 WHO CNS classification * First microsurgical resection performed at our center between January 2014 and January 2024 * Age ≥ 3 years at surgery * Pre-operative Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) recorded * Availability of post-operative contrast MRI for resection-extent calculation * Minimum required molecular data: IDH1/2 status (immunohistochemistry ± sequencing) * Continuous follow-up ≥ 6 months after surgery (out-patient visits or telephone confirmation) Exclusion Criteria * Brain-stem glioma with secondary cerebellar invasion * Recurrent or metastatic glioma * Previous cranial radiation or glioma surgery at another institution * Palliative resection (\< 20 % of tumor volume removed) * Missing post-operative MRI or insufficient tissue for mandatory IDH testing * Follow-up \< 6 months or lost to follow-up before 6-month landmark
