OBJECTIVES: To investigate if spatial recurrence pattern is associated with patient prognosis, and whether MRI vascular habitats can predict spatial pattern.

METHODS: In this retrospective study, 69 patients with locally recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) were included. The cohort was divided into intra-resection cavity recurrence (ICR) and extra-resection cavity recurrence (ECR) patterns, according to the distance between the location of the recurrent tumor and the resection cavity or surgical region. Four vascular habitats, high angiogenic tumor, low angiogenic tumor, infiltrated peripheral edema, and vasogenic peripheral edema, were segmented and vascular heterogeneity parameters were analyzed. The survival and diagnostic performance under different spatial recurrence patterns were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and ROC. A nomogram model was constructed by regression analysis and validated by bootstrapping technique.

RESULTS: Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were longer for ICR (n = 32) than those for ECR (n = 37) (median PFS: 8 vs. 5 months, median OS: 17 vs. 13 months, p < 0.05). MRI vascular habitat analyses showed ECR had higher median relative cerebral blood volume (rCBVmedian) at each habitat than ICR (all p < 0.01). The rCBVmedian at IPE had good diagnostic performance (AUC: 0.727, 95%CI: 0.607, 0.828). The AUC of the nomogram based on MRI vascular habitats and clinical factors was 0.834 (95%CI: 0.726, 0.913) and was confirmed as 0.833 (95%CI: 0.830, 0.836) by bootstrapping validation.

CONCLUSIONS: The spatial pattern of locally recurrent HGGs is associated with prognosis. MRI vascular heterogeneity parameter could be used as a non-invasive imaging marker to predict spatial recurrence pattern.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Vascular heterogeneity parameters based on MRI vascular habitat analyses can non-invasively predict the spatial patterns of locally recurrent high-grade gliomas, providing a new diagnostic basis for clinicians to develop the extent of surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy planning.

KEY POINTS: • Intra-resection cavity pattern was associated with longer progression-free survival and overall survival in locally recurrent high-grade gliomas. • Higher vascular heterogeneities in extra-resection cavity recurrence than in intra-resection cavity recurrence and the vascular heterogeneity parameters had good diagnostic performance in discriminating spatial recurrence pattern. • A nomogram model based on MRI vascular habitats and clinical factors had good performance in predicting spatial recurrence pattern.
