Locations of gliomas may influence clinical presentations, molecular profiles, treatment options, and prognoses. Using the Mayo Clinic Arizona Cancer Center registry, we analyzed the frequency at which gliomas were identified in different regions of the brain. We evaluated molecular profiles, clinical courses and survival by anatomic location. METHODS Registry was queried to include patients with glioma over a 10-year period. Statistical analyses were used to compare demographic, genetic, and clinical characteristics among patients with gliomas in different locations. RESULTS 182 gliomas were identified. Of the tumors confined to a single lobe, there were 51 frontal (28.0%), 50 temporal (27.5%), 22 parietal (12.1%), and 7 occipital tumors (3.8%) identified. Multifocal disease was noted in 38 patients (20.9%). Tumors affecting temporal lobe were associated with reduced overall survival when compared to all other tumors (11.0 months vs. 13.0 months, log-rank p=0.0068). However, this disparity became insignificant when adjusted for tumor grade, age, and surgical approach [HR(95% CI) 1.26(0.87, 1.82), p=0.212]. Out of 82 cases tested for IDH-1, 10 were mutated (5.5%). IDH-1 mutation was present in 6 frontal, 2 temporal, 1 thalamic, and 1 multifocal tumor. Out of 21 cases tested for 1p19q deletions, 12 were co-deleted, 9 of which were frontal lobe tumors. MGMT methylation was assessed in 45 cases; 7 of 14 frontal tumors and 6 of 13 temporal tumors were methylated. ATRX loss was detected in 2/42 assessed cases. CONCLUSION Our results support the hypothesis that the anatomical locations of gliomas influence patients’ clinical courses. Tumors involving the temporal lobe were associated with poorer survival, though this association appeared to be driven by these patients’ more aggressive tumor profiles and higher risk baseline demographics. Molecular analysis was limited by low prevalence of genetic testing in the study sample, highlighting the importance of capturing this information for all gliomas.
