Extent of MGMT promoter methylation correlates with outcome in glioblastomas given temozolomide and radiotherapy
16 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic silencing of O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) by promoter methylation is associated with improved survival in glioblastomas treated with alkylating agents. In this study, we investigated MGMT promoter methylation in glioblastomas treated with temozolomide and radiotherapy in a single UK treatment centre. METHODS: Quantitative methylation data at individual CpG sites were...
