The Role of Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, and Targeted Therapies in Adult Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumors.

Cancers (Basel)

August 2024

Neuro-Oncology Department, Hospices Civils of Lyon, 69500 Bron, France.

Intramedullary primary spinal cord tumors are rare in adults and their classification has recently evolved. Their treatment most frequently relies on maximal safe surgical resection. Herein, we review, in light of the WHO 2021 classification of central nervous system tumors, the knowledge regarding the role of radiotherapy and systemic treatments in spinal ependymomas, spinal astrocytomas (pilocytic astrocytoma, diffuse astrocytoma, spinal glioblastoma IDH wildtype, diffuse midline glioma H3-K27M altered, and high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features), neuro-glial tumors (ganglioglioma and diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor), and hemangioblastomas.

Hemangioblastoma (HB) is a Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor with a generally favorable behavior and prognosis, classified as WHO grade 1. Sporadic HB is not related to any inherited disease, and it usually appears in a single location. Sporadic or VHL-related HBs show variable patterns of growth velocity.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, 111 S 11 ST, Suite G301, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, USA.

Background: Hemangioblastoma of the central nervous system is an uncommon benign neoplasm, with about 25% of cases in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease. The incidence of metastasis is rare, particularly in patients without von Hippel-Lindau disease. We report a case of hemangioblastoma with leptomeningeal dissemination as a late recurrence.

Background: Hemangioblastomas (HBs) typically present with benign behavior and are most commonly found in the posterior fossa. Multiple central nervous system (CNS) HBs are usually associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease, and leptomeningeal dissemination of sporadic HBs is extremely rare. A review of the literature identified 30 cases of leptomeningeal dissemination of sporadic HBs previously published in the literature.
