Gliomas,especially high-grade glioma ,are the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults,yet outcomes from this aggressive neoplasm remain dismal.The extent of resection is one of the most essential factors that influence the outcomes of glioma resection.However, conventional structural imaging has failed to accurately delineate glioma margins because of tumor cell infiltration. the investigators have finished few project that suggest the feasibility of Magnetic Resonance Spectrum(MRS)-guided resection,unfortunately, lacking sufficient clinical evidence.This prospective cohort study is to provide a clinical evidence for the validity of MRS-guided resection in patients with HGG .

High-grade glioma(HGG), including anaplastic glioma (AG) and Glioblastomas (GBM), are associated with poor prognosis, even with all the scientific development of the last decades, attributed to optimally treated with maximum safe surgery, followed by radiotherapy (RT) and/or systemic chemotherapy (CT). Despite recent advances in treatment, the prognosis of HGG remains poor with comparatively short overall survival (OS) and importantly profound impact on quality of life (QoL).Admittedly,multiple factors are related to their outcome, including age, biological characteristics of the tumor, and extent of treatment. Notably, extent of resection (EOR) plays a major role as an independent modifiable factor associated with improved overall and progression-free survival. Achievement of maximal safe resection, removing as much as possible the tumor while preserving the neurological function, is the main goal of the current surgical treatment of High-grade glioma (HGG).

Many researchers took into study about the extent of surgery ,despite exist various editions,produced similar results, although only one randomized controlled trial(RCT) provided 1-year PFS data and there was no significant difference between total resection and incomplete resection in that study. It suggests that should push the delineation of tumour outward for better prognosis.therefore,the core of conservation point to the simon-pure margins that proximate to histopathologic periphery of HGG.Consequently, analyses showed that the resection of ≥ 53.21% of the surrounding FLAIR abnormality beyond the 100% contrast-enhancing resection was associated with a significant prolongation of survival compared with that following less extensive resections,neo-FLAIR abnormality region is gradually coming into people' vision,supportive evidence is warranted for the relationship of extensive resection and reasonable prognosis,which equal to draw the scope of tumour margins that has been put forward to sketch via metabolic information.

During previous clinical practice,the investigators have researched that the correlation of metabolic information and tumour identification about true-false type,study suggests that Cho/tNAA ratio threshold values of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 appeared to predict the specie-mens containing the tumour with respective probabilities of 0.38, 0.60, 0.79, 0.90 in HGG and 0.16, 0.39, 0.67, 0.87 in LGG,it is interesting to reveal the metabolic action of true-tumour,and immediately the other work projected by our group found that the differences between the structural and the metabolic volumes with Cho/tNAA ratio(CNI) thresholds of 0.5 and 1.5 were statistically significant (p = 0.0005 and 0.0129, respectively) and 0.5 and 1.0 were statistically significant in HGG.Problem,whether operation that resect by delineation at Cho/tNAA ratio threshold 1.0 can bring better outcome ,remains to be solved,namely,the investigators need further clinical evidence .

Based on this thoughtfulness, this prospective cohort study is to provide a reasonable evidence for the correlation between metabolic-guide resection and the prognosis of the HGGs , cohorts contain 25 cases in the arm group and 25 cases in the control group.Respectively receive different operation project followed by statistical analysis aim at overall survival (OS)and progression free survival (PFS).Definitively,the investigators hope to draw a conclusion that armed group has better outcome,like that,studies have a step in the course of HGG therapy.

High Grade Gliomas, including anaplastic astrocytomas, anaplastic oligodendrogliomas and glioblastomas (GBM), are the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumors. Prognosis for patients with high-grade gliomas remains poor. The estimated median survival for patients with GBM is between 12 to 18 months. Recurrence after initial therapy with temozolomide and radiation is nearly universal. Since May 2009, the majority of patients in the US with an initial recurrence of high-grade glioma receive bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is thought to prevent angiogenesis in these highly vascular tumors. BEV has response rates from 32-62% and has improved overall median survival in patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas1. However, the response is short lived, and nearly 100% of patients eventually progress despite bevacizumab. No chemotherapeutic agent administered following progression through bevacizumab has made a significant impact on survival. Patients progress to death within 1-5 months after resistance develops. Therefore, patients with high-grade gliomas who have progressed through bevacizumab represent a population in dire need of a feasible and tolerable treatment.

NKTR-102 is a topoisomerase I inhibitor polymer conjugate that was engineered by attaching irinotecan molecules to a polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer using a biodegradable linker. Irinotecan released from NKTR-102 following administration is further metabolized to the active metabolite, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN38), that causes DNA damage through inhibition of topoisomerase. The goal in designing NKTR-102 was to attenuate or eliminate some of the limiting side effects of irinotecan while improving efficacy by modifying the distribution of the agent within the body. The size and structure of NKTR-102 results in marked alteration in pharmacokinetic (PK) profile for the SN38 derived from NKTR-102 compared to that following irinotecan: the maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) is reduced 5- to 10-fold and the half-life (t1/2 ) of SN38 is increased from 2 days to approximately 50 days. This altered profile leads to constant exposure of the tumor to the active drug. In addition, the large NKTR-102 molecule does not freely pass out of intact vasculature, which may account for relatively higher concentrations of the compound and the active metabolites in tumor tissues in in vivo models, where the local vasculature may be relatively more permeable. A 145 mg/m2 dose of NKTR-102, the dose intended for use in this phase II clinical trial (and being used in the phase III clinical program), results in approximately the same plasma exposure to SN38 as a 350 mg/m2 dose of irinotecan, but exposure is protracted, resulting in continuous exposure between dosing cycles and lower Cmax. NKTR-102 was therefore developed as a new chemotherapeutic agent that may improve the clinical outcomes of patients.

Will be described using Kaplan-Meier estimates. The PFS probability at 6 weeks (PFS-6week) will be estimated with an 80% power and 95% confidence intervals (80% in accord with the planned alpha level, 95% for comparability with other studies, confidence intervals based on the Greenwood formula for the variance of a survival probability).
