2018-05-09
Abstract excerpt
Tumor recurrence in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is often attributed to acquired resistance to the standard chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide (TMZ). Promoter methylation of the DNA repair gene MGMT has been associated with sensitivity to TMZ, while increased expression of MGMT has been associated with TMZ resistance. Clinical studies have observed a downward shift in MGMT methylation percentage from primary to...
