Prognostic and Predictive Roles of MGMT Protein Expression and Promoter Methylation in Sporadic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: O(6)-methylguanine-methyltransferase (MGMT) is an important enzyme of DNA repair. MGMT promoter methylation is detectable in a subset of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN). A subset of pNEN responds to the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ). We wanted to correlate MGMT promoter methylation with MGMT protein loss in pNEN, correlate the findings with clinico-pathological data and determine...
