ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Few large studies have investigated quality of life (QOL) for adults diagnosed with lower grade glioma (LGG).
METHODS: QOL was assessed for 320 adults with LGG (World Health Organization grade 2/3) enrolled in the International Low Grade Glioma Registry by using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form health survey. Data on symptoms were also collected. QOL outcomes were examined by treatment group and also compared to those from a population-based case-control study of meningioma (the Meningioma Consortium), in which 1722 meningioma cases diagnosed among residents of Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Texas, and North Carolina from May 1, 2006 through March 14, 2013 were enrolled and frequency matched to 1622 controls by age, sex, and geography.
RESULTS: The LGG sample average age is 45 years at the time of interview and 53.1% male. Almost 55% of patients had received radiation and chemotherapy (primarily temozolomide); 32.4% had received neither treatment. Two-thirds of participants with LGG report difficulty with speaking, memory, or thinking, and over one of three reports personality change or difficulty driving. After controlling for age and other comorbidities, individuals with LGG report levels of physical, emotional, and mental health functioning below those reported in a meningioma as well as a general healthy population.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite being relatively young, persons with LGG report significantly reduced QOL compared to persons with nonmalignant brain tumors and to a control population, which highlights the need to better acknowledge and manage these symptoms for this group of patients diagnosed in the prime of life.
