Abstract Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type gliomas tend to be pathologically defined as glioblastomas. We previously reported that, unlike IDH-mutant gliomas, IDH wild-type gliomas showed significantly lower ratios of myoinositol to total choline (i.e., the Ins/Cho ratio) on magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. Given that IDH-mutant gliomas also have much better prognoses than IDH wild-type gliomas, we hypothesized that this lower Ins/Cho ratio is associated with malignancy in adults with supratentorial gliomas. Therefore, we calculated the Ins/Cho ratios of patients with supratentorial IDH wild-type gliomas and investigated their progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) to determine its utility as a prognostic marker.Methods: We classified IDH wild-type gliomas (n = 30) into two groups based on the Ins/Cho ratios, and compared patient backgrounds, pathological findings, PFS, OS, and copy number aberrations.Results: Compared with the group with high Ins/Cho ratios, the group with low Ins/Cho ratios had shorter PFS (P = 0.020) and OS (P = 0.037) durations. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the Ins/Cho ratio correlated significantly with PFS (hazard ratio 0.34, P = 0.027). Conclusion: We conclude that the preoperative Ins/Cho ratio can be used as a novel prognostic factor for IDH wild-type gliomas.

Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the Ins/Cho ratio corelated significantly with PFS (hazard ratio 0.34, P = 0.027). Conclusion: We conclude that the preoperative Ins/Cho ratio can be used as a novel prognostic factor for IDH wild-type gliomas.
