Predominant influence of MGMT methylation in non-resectable glioblastoma after radiotherapy plus temozolomide
Patients with non-resectable glioblastoma generally exhibit a poor prognosis, even after radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (XRT/TMZ→TMZ). Unfortunately, no data are available concerning the predictive value of O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation for this important subpopulation. For clarification, a prospective study was conducted.
