Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) contributes to the resistance of human brain tumor cell lines and xenografts to methylating and chloroethylating agents. We assayed MGMT in 174 newly diagnosed or recurrent gliomas to (a) quantitate changes in MGMT activity associated with alkylating agent-based chemotherapy; and (b) assess the contribution of MGMT to clinical outcome. Glioma...
