RESUMEN

Craniopharyngiomas are rare hypothalamic-pituitary tumors found in young children, adolescents and adults, and their multidisciplinary management required, calls for consistent practices for practicioners, patients and families. The French Endocrine Society and French Society for Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes enlisted and coordinated adult and paediatric endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, radiotherapists as well as psychologists, dieticians and a patient association, to draft a reference document on this severe disease. The management of craniopharyngiomas remains complex due to their aggressive nature, invasive behavior, and propensity for recurrence, requiring a sequential and measured therapeutic approach and follow-up in expert centers. Although patient survival rates are high, the consequences of both the tumor and its treatment can lead to serious comorbidities and impaired quality of life, particularly in those patients with lesional hypothalamic syndrome. Recent advances have allowed the two described tumor types - papillary and adamantinomatous - to be associated with distinct molecular signatures, specific pathophysiological mechanisms and ipso facto, distinct therapeutic approaches, including innovative medications for hyperphagia, that will continue to evolve. This consensus statement covers all stages in the management of patients with craniopharyngioma, from diagnosis to therapeutic strategies including the long-term follow-up.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma mainly affects children. Excessive weight gain is a major long-term complication. The primary objective of this study was to assess long-term weight changes in children treated for craniopharyngioma. The secondary objectives were to identify risk factors for excessive weight gain and to look for associations with hypothalamic damage by the tumour or treatment. DESIGN: Single-centre retrospective cohort study. METHOD: Children managed for craniopharyngioma at our centre between 1990 and 2019 were included. The body mass index (BMI) standard deviation scores (SDS) at baseline and at last follow-up were compared. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed in order to identify variables associated with the long-term BMI-SDS variation. RESULTS: The 108 patients had a mean follow-up of 10.4 years. The mean BMI-SDS increase over time was 2.11 (P < .001) overall, 1.21 (P < .001) in the group without hypothalamic involvement by the tumour, and 1.95 (P < .001) in the group managed using intended hypothalamus-sparing surgery. The absence of hypothalamic involvement by the tumour or treatment was significantly associated with less weight gain (P = .046 and P < .01, respectively). After adjustment, factors associated with a BMI-SDS change greater than 2 were female sex (P = .023), tumour involving the hypothalamus (P = .04), and higher baseline BMI (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Clinically significant weight gain occurred in nearly all children treated for craniopharyngioma, including those whose hypothalamus was spared by the tumour and intentionally by treatment. However, hypothalamus integrity was associated with less weight gain. Despite hypothalamus-sparing strategies, hypothalamic obesity remains a major concern, indicating a need for novel treatment approaches.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) represent 5% of childhood brain tumors. Successive relapses lead to multiple treatments exposing to late complications. METHODS: We included patients treated at Gustave Roussy (GR) between January 1980 and December 2015 for OPG, before 18 years old and alive at 5 years from diagnosis. Mortality and physical health conditions data were extracted from medical data files and updated, thanks to the GR long-term follow-up program and French national mortality registry for patients included in the French Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. RESULTS: We included 182 5-year OPG-childhood survivors in the analysis (sex ratio M/F 0.8, 35% with neurofibromatosis type 1 [NF1]). With a median follow-up of 17.2 years (range = 5-41), we registered 82 relapses, 9 second malignancies, and 15 deaths as first events after 5 years, resulting in 20-year conditional overall survival (C-OS) and late events-free survival of 79.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 71-86) and 43.5% (95% CI = 36-51), respectively. Radiotherapy exposure in NF1 patients (hazard ratio [HR] = 6, 95% CI = 1.7-21.2) and hypothalamic involvement (HR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.4-7.3) were significantly associated with C-OS in multivariable analyses. Ninety-five percent of 5-year OPG survivors suffered from any health condition, especially visual acuity "<1/10" (n = 109), pituitary deficiency (n = 106), and neurocognitive impairment (n = 89). NF1 (HR 2.1) was associated with precocious puberty. With a median time post-diagnosis of 4.2 years, 33 cerebrovascular events were observed in 21 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Late relapses, second malignancies, and cerebrovascular diseases are severe late events resulting in premature mortality. Morbidity is high and needs after-cancer care to improve quality of life. Risk factors could be considered to better stratify long-term follow-up.
