Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Gamma knife radiosurgery has also been used to treat subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.[1]
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.[1]
- Treatment of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma has been solely surgical because of a lack of responsiveness to other strategies such as chemotherapy or radiation. The latter may also be associated with an increased risk of secondary malignancies.[2]
- Generally, small tumors are usually less invasive and resecting them is associated with excellent clinical outcomes with low morbidity and mortality. However, when diagnosed at a later stage, the tumor more often affects and invades neighboring structures (fornix, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, and genu of internal capsule) and is associated with higher surgical morbidity and mortality.[3]
- The choice of treatment in subependymal giant cell astrocytoma still is dependent on the experience of the individual physician. Despite the growing evidence on mTORi-induced tumor shrinkage, many centers still strictly advocate surgical treatment, whereas others prefer medical therapy.[2]
- Indications of surgery in subependymal giant cell astrocytoma include:[1][3]
- New set of symptoms
- Radioogical evidence of tumor growth
- Acute hydrocephalus
- Worsened seizure burden
- Complications of surgery in subependymal giant cell astrocytoma include:[1]
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
- Gamma knife radiosurgery has been used to treat subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.[1]
- The gamma knife surgery may significantly decrease the volume (70-80%) of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma at 6 months of treatment.[4]
- Contraindication to gamma knife radiosurgery include large tumors producing significant hydrocephalus.
