BACKGROUND: Brain metastases (BMs) are classically well-circumscribed lesions. Still, the amount of edema in these neoplasms suggests either mechanisms of infiltration or defense. A better understanding of the mechanisms within the edema of BMs seems reasonable to preoperatively identify areas of potential infiltration and resect them. BMs represent tumors with high energy demand and cell turnover; therefore, they qualify for preoperative investigation with phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31PMRS), which reveals information about those characteristics.
METHODS: Ten patients with BMs were included in this trial. All underwent preoperative standard magnetic resonance imaging with additional 31PMRS. In all patients, 1 voxel within the contrast-enhancing tumor (CE+), 1 voxel at the border (including CE+ areas and surrounding T2-hyperintensive [T2+] areas), and 1 distant voxel purely including T2+ areas were determined by a neuroradiologist and a neurosurgeon. A frameless stereotactic biopsy was performed after craniotomy. Subsequently, the metabolites of the 31PMRS were analyzed and compared with the histopathologic results.
RESULTS: Ratios, reflecting resynthesis (CE+/border/T2+: 1.109 ± 0.192/1.112 ± 0.158/1.083 ± 0.097), hydrolysis (0.303 ± 0.089/0.360 ± 0.122/0.321 ± 0.089), energy demand (4.227 ± 2.35/3.453 ± 1.284/3.599 ± 0.833), and membrane turnover (1.239 ± 0.2611/3.453 ± 1.284/3.599 ± 0.283) were calculated and compared intraindividually with a voxel from the contralateral side (resynthesis/hydrolysis/energy demand/membrane turnover: 1.063 ± 0.085/0.335 ± 0.073/3.317 ± 0.7573/0.784 ± 0.186), respectively. Resynthesis showed a trend toward higher ratios in CE+ and border biopsies without reaching statistical significances. This trend was also seen concerning energy demand. Membrane turnover was significantly higher in CE+, border zone, and also in the T2+ areas compared with controls (P > 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: 31PMRS in BMs provides information on metabolic changes in tumor and surrounding edema. There is proof of enhanced metabolism in tissue without histologic tumor manifestation.
