Promoter Methylation as a Prognostic Factor in Primary Glioblastoma: A Single-Institution Observational Study.

Glioblastoma is the most malignant central nervous system tumor, which represents 50% of all glial tumors. The understanding of glioma genesis, prognostic evaluation, and treatment planning has been significantly enhanced by the discovery of molecular genetic biomarkers. This study aimed to evaluate survival in patients with primary glioblastoma concerning O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase () promoter methylation and other clinical factors.
