写在前面:胶质瘤的众多分子生物学检测,看来不是每个都是必须的。
我们不是巴菲特,我们大家都缺钱,所以拒绝一股脑儿的全都检测才是上策!
●目标人群:≥18岁的成人疑似低级别弥漫性胶质瘤
?问题:确诊成人低级别弥漫性胶质瘤最适当的神经病理学技术是什么?
!建议:
1. 对有代表性的外科切除的病变标本,进行组织病理学分析的结果,应当被用来提供低级别弥漫性胶质瘤的诊断(LEVEL I)。
2. 冰冻切片和细胞病理学分析/涂片一起,应当被用来帮助术中诊断低级别弥漫性胶质瘤。切除的标本优于活检标本,能降低潜在的取样误差(LEVEL III)。
●目标人群:组织学上已经被确诊为WHO 2级弥漫性胶质瘤。
?问题:成人(≥18岁)组织学上确诊的WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤是否必须要检测IDH1突变?如果需要,那么最合适的方法是?
!建议:通过IDH1 R132H抗体和或IDH1/2突变热点测序得IDH基因突变评价是低级别弥漫性胶质瘤高度特异性的检查。推荐作为低级别胶质瘤分类和诊断的附加检查(LEVEL II)。
●目标人群:组织学上确诊的 WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤。
?问题:组织学上确诊的 成人(≥18岁的)WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤,1p/19q缺失是否作为必须的检查?如果是,哪种方法最好?
!建议:1p/19q杂合性缺失检测,可通过FISH,阵列-CGH或PCR等方法来检测,建议作为判断少枝胶质细胞肿瘤预后和选择治疗方案时使用(LEVEL III)。
●目标人群:组织学上确诊的WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤
?问题:组织学上确诊的 成人(≥18岁的)WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤,MGMT启动子甲基化检测是否必须?如果是,怎样的检测方法最好?
!建议:没有足够的证据来推荐将MGMT启动子甲基化检测作为低级别弥漫性胶质瘤的常规检查。只推荐那些参加适当设计的临床试验的群体来做此类检测。
●目标人群:组织学上确诊的WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤
?问题:组织学上确诊的 成人(≥18岁的)WHO2级弥漫性胶质瘤,Ki-67/MIB1免疫组化检测是否必须?如果是,哪种方法最合适?
!建议:Ki67/MIB1免疫组化检查在用来评价预后方面是值得推荐的(LEVEL III)。

Abstract
TARGET POPULATION:
Adult patients (age ≥18 years) who have suspected low-grade diffuse glioma.
QUESTION:
What are the optimal neuropathological techniques to diagnose low-grade diffuse glioma in the adult?
RECOMMENDATION:
LEVEL I: Histopathological analysis of a representative surgical sample of the lesion should be used to provide the diagnosis of low-grade diffuse glioma.
LEVEL III:
Both frozen section and cytopathologic/smear evaluation should be used to aid the intra-operative assessment of low-grade diffuse glioma diagnosis. A resection specimen is preferred over a biopsy specimen, to minimize the potential for sampling error issues.
TARGET POPULATION:
Patients with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma.
QUESTION:
In adult patients (age ≥18 years) with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma, is testing for IDH1 mutation (R132H and/or others) warranted? If so, is there a preferred method?
RECOMMENDATION:
LEVEL II:
IDH gene mutation assessment, via IDH1 R132H antibody and/or IDH1/2 mutation hotspot sequencing, is highly-specific for low-grade diffuse glioma, and is recommended as an additional test for classification and prognosis.
TARGET POPULATION:
Patients with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma.
QUESTION:
In adult patients (age ≥18 years) with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma, is testing for 1p/19q loss warranted? If so, is there a preferred method?
RECOMMENDATION:
LEVEL III:
1p/19q loss-of-heterozygosity testing, by FISH, array-CGH or PCR, is recommended as an additional test in oligodendroglial cases for prognosis and potential treatment planning.
TARGET POPULATION:
Patients with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma.
QUESTION:
In adult patients (age ≥18 years) with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma, is MGMT promoter methylation testing warranted? If so, is there a preferred method?
RECOMMENDATION:
There is insufficient evidence to recommend methyl-guanine methyl-transferase (MGMT) promoter methylation testing as a routine for low-grade diffuse gliomas. It is recommended that patients be enrolled in properly designed clinical trials to assess the value of this and related markers for this target population.
TARGET POPULATION:
Patients with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma.
QUESTION:
In adult patients (age ≥18 years) with histologically-proven WHO grade II diffuse glioma, is Ki-67/MIB1 immunohistochemistry warranted? If so, is there a preferred method to quantitate results?
RECOMMENDATION:
LEVEL III:
Ki67/MIB1 immunohistochemistry is recommended as an option for prognostic assessment.
