MGMT Gene Silencing and Benefit from Temozolomide in Glioblastoma
9 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic silencing of the MGMT (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) DNA-repair gene by promoter methylation compromises DNA repair and has been associated with longer survival in patients with glioblastoma who receive alkylating agents. METHODS: We tested the relationship between MGMT silencing in the tumor and the survival of patients who were enrolled in a randomized trial comparing...
