    Abstract: The prognosis for Li–Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) patients with medulloblastoma (MB) is poor. Comprehensive clinical data for this patient group is lacking, challenging the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we present clinical and molecular data on a retrospective cohort of pediatric LFS MB patients. Methods In this multinational, multicenter retrospective cohort study, LFS patients under 21 years with MB and class 5 or class 4 constitutional TP53 variants were included. TP53 mutation status, methylation subgroup, treatment, progression free- (PFS) and overall survival (OS), recurrence patterns, and incidence of subsequent neoplasms were evaluated. Results The study evaluated 47 LFS individuals diagnosed with MB, mainly classified as DNA methylation subgroup “SHH_3” (86%). The majority (74%) of constitutional TP53 variants represented missense variants. The 2- and 5-year (y-) PFS were 36% and 20%, and 2- and 5y-OS were 53% and 23%, respectively. Patients who received postoperative radiotherapy (RT) (2y-PFS: 44%, 2y-OS: 60%) or chemotherapy before RT (2y-PFS: 32%, 2y-OS: 48%) had significantly better clinical outcome then patients who were not treated with RT (2y-PFS: 0%, 2y-OS: 25%). Patients treated according to protocols including high-intensity chemotherapy and patients who received only maintenance-type chemotherapy showed similar outcomes (2y-PFS: 42% and 35%, 2y-OS: 68% and 53%, respectively). Conclusions LFS MB patients have a dismal prognosis. In the presented cohort use of RT significantly increased survival rates, whereas chemotherapy intensity did not influence their clinical outcome. Prospective collection of clinical data and development of novel treatments are required to improve the outcome of LFS MB patients.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: The prognosis for SHH-medulloblastoma (MB) patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is poor. Due to lack of comprehensive data for these patients, it is challenging to establish effective therapeutic recommendations. We here describe the largest retrospective cohort of pediatric LFS SHH-MB patients to date and their clinical outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: N=31 patients with LFS SHH-MB were included in this retrospective multicenter study. TP53 variant type, clinical parameters including treatment modalities, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS), as well as recurrence patterns and incidence of secondary neoplasms, were evaluated. RESULTS: All LFS-MBs were classified as SHH subgroup, in 30/31 cases based on DNA methylation analysis. The majority of constitutional TP53 variants (72%) represented missense variants, and all except two truncating variants were located within the DNA-binding domain. 54% were large cell anaplastic, 69% gross totally resected and 81% had M0 status. The 2-(y)ear and 5-(y)ear EFS were 26% and 8,8%, respectively, and 2y- and 5y-OS 40% and 12%. Patients who received post-operative radiotherapy (RT) followed by chemotherapy (CT) showed significantly better outcomes (2y-EFS:43%) compared to patients who received CT before RT (30%) (p & lt;0.05). The 2y-EFS and 2y-OS were similar when treated with protocols including high-dose chemotherapy (EFS:22%, OS:44%) compared to patients treated with maintenance-type chemotherapy (EFS:31%, OS:45%). Recurrence occurred in 73.3% of cases independent of resection or M-status, typically within the radiation field (75% of RT-treated patients). Secondary malignancies developed in 12.5% and were cause of death in all affected patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with LFS-MBs have a dismal prognosis. This retrospective study suggests that upfront RT may increase EFS, while intensive therapeutic approaches including high-dose chemotherapy did not translate into increased survival of this patient group. To improve outcomes of LFS-MB patients, prospective collection of clinical data and development of treatment guidelines are required.

    Abstract: Molecular subtypes of Group 3/4 medulloblastoma have been identified by unsupervised clustering methods in different studies. We hypothesized that risk stratification using these subtypes I-VIII improves outcome prediction. PATIENTS AND METHODS n=340 patients with Group 3 or Group 4 medulloblastoma defined by DNA methylation array profiling enrolled into the HIT2000 study and HIT-MED registries were subtyped by the Heidelberg Medulloblastoma Classifier. The discovery cohort consisted of n=162 previously published samples, the validation cohort of n=178 newly analyzed samples. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: n=300/340 (88%) MBs could be assigned to one of the subtypes with confidence (score & gt;0.8; Heidelberg Medulloblastoma classifier). Subtype II,III and V showed a poor PFS and OS and were classified as HR (discovery:5y-PFS 45%[95%-CI:33–62], 5y-OS 50%[37–67] ; validation:5y-PFS 32%[20–50], 5y-OS 40%[27–61] ). Subtypes I, IV, VI-VIII fared better (discovery:5y-PFS 67%[58–77], 5y_OS 84%[77–91] ; Validation:5y-PFS 70%[58–83], 5y-OS 89%[81–99] ). Survival prediction by subtype-based risk assessment was improved compared to Group 3 versus 4 differentiation in both cohorts in univariate and multivariable Cox regression models (PFS:Hazard ratio HR versus LR 2.474, p & lt;0.001; Group 3 versus Group 4 1.842, p=0.003; adjustment for anaplasia, age and metastatic disease). Patients older than 4 with subtype IV tumors (mainly Group 3) treated with radiotherapy achieved a 100% PFS, while subtype V patients (mainly Group 4) had poor survival. CONCLUSION We showed that molecular subtypes I-VIII improved risk stratification of Group 3/4 medulloblastomas. Group 3 subtype IV MB treated with RT had very high cure rates.
