    Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite numerous efforts to target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), commonly dysregulated in GBM, approaches directed against EGFR have not achieved the same degree of success as seen in other tumor types, particularly as compared to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR alterations in glioblastoma lie primarily in the extracellular domain, unlike the kinase domain alterations seen in NSCLC. Small molecule inhibitors are difficult to develop for the extracellular domain. Monoclonal antibodies can be developed to target the extracellular domain but must contend with the blood brain barrier (BBB). We review the role of EGFR in GBM, the history of trialed treatments, and the potential paths forward to target the pathway that may have greater success.

    Abstract Both primary and metastatic brain tumors carry poor prognoses despite modern advances in medical therapy, radiation therapy, and surgical techniques. Gliomas, including glioblastoma (GBM), are particularly difficult to treat, and high-grade gliomas have poor outcomes. Treatment of brain tumors involves a unique set of scientific and clinical challenges, which are often not present in the treatment of systemic malignancies. With respect to scientific challenges, the anatomy and physiology of brain tumors (including the blood-brain barrier, blood-tumor barrier, and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier) prevent adequate drug delivery into the central nervous system. The unique nature of the immune system in the central nervous system as well as the immunosuppressive microenvironment of tumors such as GBM also create therapeutic roadblocks in the treatment of brain tumors. Tumor heterogeneity, particularly in GBM, has classically been believed to contribute to multitherapy resistance; however, recent data suggest that this may not be the case. Clinical challenges include neurologic and medical comorbidities of patients with brain tumor, as well as potential toxicity of tumor-directed treatment. Clinical trials investigating new treatment paradigms are needed, but several roadblocks exist to good and promising clinical trial availability.

    Abstract Although outcomes for many brain tumors, especially glioblastomas, remain poor, there have been significant advances in clinical and scientific understanding of neuro-oncologic disease. Tumor molecular profiling has become a critical component of clinical practice, allowing more accurate pathologic diagnosis and enhanced clarity of the pathogenesis of both primary and metastatic brain tumors. The development of cerebral organoids carries exciting potential to provide representative models of tumor growth and potential drug efficacy, while new radiology techniques continue to improve clinical decision making. New adaptive trial platforms have been developed to rapidly test therapies and biomarkers with good scientific rationale. Lastly, growth and development of neuro-oncology clinical care teams aim to further improve patients' outcomes and symptoms, especially at the end of life.

    Abstract Neuro-oncology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of primary and secondary tumors of the nervous system as well as the neurologic complications of cancer and cancer treatments. In practice, neuro-oncologists require an intimate knowledge of the neurologic presentation and management of central nervous system tumors, including gliomas, meningiomas, primary central nervous system lymphoma, metastases to the nervous system, and others. The mainstays of treatment for most nervous system tumors include surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and medical treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or targeted therapy. Interdisciplinary collaboration is thus critical to neuro-oncology. The prognosis for many central nervous system tumors, including gliomas and brain metastases, is often poor despite the advent of novel medical therapies. Efforts to develop more effective therapies are ongoing, and patient enrollment in clinical trials assessing the efficacy of new treatments is crucial to improve outcomes.

    Abstract Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor, with more than10,000 new cases each year in the United States. Significant basic science and clinical research has been devoted to understanding this disease, yet median survival with standard of care treatment remains approximately 15 months. Over the past decade, advances in genomic sequencing technology, biostatistics, and computing have allowed for an unprecedented ability to profile the gene expression patterns and mutations driving the formation of tumors. These advances have generated both prognostic information as well as a multitude of treatment targets that are just now coming into clinical practice. This article aims to provide a comprehensive update on the recent use of genetic profiling to identify the molecular pathways altered in glioblastoma and to describe ongoing clinical trials to exploit these pathways for treatment.

    Abstract Background: Clinical trials evaluating immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in recurrent high-grade gliomas (rHGG) report 7%-20% 6-month progression-free survival (PFS), while re-irradiation demonstrates 28%-39% 6-month PFS.
    Aims: We evaluate outcomes of patients treated with ICI and concurrent re-irradiation utilizing stereotactic body radiotherapy/fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (SBRT) compared to ICI monotherapy.
    Methods and results: Patients ≥18-years-old with rHGG (WHO grade III and IV) receiving ICI + SBRT or ICI monotherapy between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2019 were included. Adverse events, 6-month PFS and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Log-rank tests were used to evaluate PFS and OS. Histogram analyses of apparent diffusion coefficient maps and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance perfusion metrics were performed. Twenty-one patients with rHGG (ICI + SBRT: 16; ICI: 5) were included. The ICI + SBRT and ICI groups received a mean 7.25 and 6.2 ICI cycles, respectively. There were five grade 1, one grade 2 and no grade 3-5 AEs in the ICI + SBRT group, and four grade 1 and no grade 2-5 AEs in the ICI group. Median PFS was 2.85 and 1 month for the ICI + SBRT and ICI groups; median OS was 7 and 6 months among ICI + SBRT and ICI groups, respectively. There were significant differences in pre and posttreatment tumor volume in the cohort (12.35 vs. 20.51; p = .03), but not between treatment groups.
    Conclusions: In this heavily pretreated cohort, ICI with re-irradiation utilizing SBRT was well tolerated. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate potential therapeutic benefits to re-irradiation with ICI + SBRT in rHGG.

    Abstract Background: Our purpose was to determine the utility of [68Ga]-DOTATATE PET/MRI in meningioma response assessment following radiosurgery.
    Methods: Patients with meningioma prospectively underwent postoperative DOTATATE PET/MRI. Co-registered PET and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI were employed for radiosurgery planning. Follow-up DOTATATE PET/MRI was performed at 6-12 months post radiosurgery. Maximum absolute standardized uptake value (SUV) and SUV ratio (SUVRSSS) referencing superior sagittal sinus (SSS) blood pool were obtained. Size change was determined by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Association of SUVRSSS change magnitude and PFS was evaluated using Cox regression.
    Results: 27 patients with 64 tumors (26% WHO-1, 41% WHO-2, 26% WHO-3, 7% WHO-unknown) were prospectively followed post stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) (mean dose: 30 Gy, modal dose 35 Gy, mean of 5 fractions). Post-irradiation SUV and SUVRSSS decreased by 37.4% and 44.4%, respectively (p < 0.0001). Size product decreased by 8.9%, thus failing to reach the 25% significance threshold as determined by RANO guidelines. Mean follow-up time was 26 months (range: 6-44). Overall mean PFS was 83% and 100%/100%/54% in WHO-1/-2/-3 subcohorts, respectively, at 34 months. At maximum follow-up (42-44 months), PFS was 100%/83%/54% in WHO-1/-2/-3 subcohorts, respectively. Cox regression analyses revealed a hazard ratio of 0.48 for 10-unit reduction in SUVRSSS in the SRS cohort.
    Conclusions: DOTATATE PET SUV and SUVRSSS demonstrated marked, significant decrease post radiosurgery. Lesion size decrease was statistically significant, however it was not clinically significant by RANO criteria. DOTATATE PET/MR thus represents a promising imaging biomarker for response assessment in meningiomas treated with radiosurgery.
