We found that DYNC2H1 (DHC2) was expressed more in MGMT-deficient recurrent glioblastoma specimens and its expression strongly correlated to poor progression-free survival in MGMT promotor methylated glioblastoma patients.
Dynamic expression of 11 miRNAs in 83 consecutive primary and corresponding recurrent glioblastoma: correlation to treatment, time to recurrence, overall survival and MGMT methylation status.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of procarbazine and CCNU chemotherapy for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with O<sup>6</sup>-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation.
Data from phase 2 trials suggest that it has antitumour activity as a single agent in recurrent glioblastoma and in combination with standard temozolomide chemoradiotherapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (particularly in tumours with methylated MGMT promoter).
