Table 2.

Differing profiles of secondary GB (recurrent vs. radiation induced)

Characteristic Recurrent secondary GB [6] Radiation-induced secondary GB
Etiology Progression from low-grade or intermediate-grade glioma Development after radiotherapy for other conditions (e.g., leukemia, brain tumor)
IDH mutation Common (especially IDH1 R132H mutation) Rare
TP53 mutation Common Possible, but less frequent
ATRX inactivation Common Possible
MGMT promoter methylation Common Possible
TERT promoter mutation Rare Possible
1p/19q co-deletion Rare Rare
Typical patient age Usually younger patients Usually older patients
Medical history History of low-grade or intermediate-grade glioma History of radiotherapy for other tumors or diseases
Other chromosomal abnormalities Common specific chromosomal mutation patterns May have more heterogeneous chromosomal mutations and structural variations
