Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy improves overall survival after surgery and radiotherapy for newly diagnosed high-risk IDH-mutant low-grade gliomas (LGGs), but a proportion of patients treated with temozolomide (TMZ) will develop recurrent tumors with TMZ-induced hypermutation. We aimed to determine the prevalence of TMZ-induced hypermutation at recurrence and prognostic implications. METHODS: We sequenced recurrent...
