Immune complexes associated with brain tumors: correlation with prognosis

A Martin-Achard, N de Tribolet, J A Louis

    Surgical Neurology
    |March 1, 1980

    Summary

    Circulating immune complexes (CICs) are present in glioma patients, indicating a poorer prognosis. CICs decrease post-surgery but correlate with shorter survival in malignant glioma, confirming findings in other cancers.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Circulating immune complexes (CICs) are implicated in various malignancies.
    • Their role in intracranial space-occupying lesions, particularly gliomas, requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of CICs in patients with intracranial space-occupying lesions.
    • To assess the correlation between CICs and glioma grade, post-operative changes, and patient survival.

    Main Methods:

    • The C1q binding test was employed to detect CICs in the sera of 208 patients.
    • Patients included those with high-grade gliomas, low-grade gliomas, and other intracranial lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-eight percent of high-grade glioma patients and 14% of low-grade glioma patients tested positive for CICs.

  • CIC incidence decreased in the first post-operative month.
  • Preoperative CICs correlated with significantly shorter survival in malignant glioma patients (4.7 months with CICs vs. 8.6 months without).

    • Conclusions:

    • The study confirms the presence of CICs in patients with intracranial space-occupying lesions, particularly gliomas.
    • CICs are associated with poorer survival outcomes in malignant glioma patients.
    • Findings align with observations in other cancer types, suggesting CICs as a potential prognostic marker.
