The addition of temozolomide to radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant survival benefit with minimal additional toxicity.

Patients with glioblastoma containing a methylated MGMT promoter benefited from temozolomide, whereas those who did not have a methylation of theMGMT promoter did notHave such a benefit and were assigned to only radiotherapy.

Evidence is provided for a previously unidentified pathophysiological function of the AHR that is constitutively generated by human tumours via tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), a liver- and neuron-derived Trp-degrading enzyme not yet implicated in cancer biology.
Type and frequency of IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are related to astrocytic and oligodendroglial differentiation and age: a study of 1,010 diffuse gliomas

An inverse association of IDH1 and IDH2 mutations of the R132C type are strongly associated with astrocytoma, while IDH 2 mutations predominantly occur in oligodendroglial tumors.

This work presents a comprehensive approach for the DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours across all entities and age groups, and shows that the availability of this method may have a substantial impact on diagnostic precision compared to standard methods.
Effect of Tumor-Treating Fields Plus Maintenance Temozolomide vs Maintenance Temozolomide Alone on Survival in Patients With Glioblastoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial

- 19 December 2017
In the final analysis of this randomized clinical trial of patients with glioblastoma who had received standard radiochemotherapy, the addition of TTFields to maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy vs maintenance Temozolmide alone, resulted in statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival.
Correlation of O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation with clinical outcomes in glioblastoma and clinical strategies to modulate MGMT activity.

The data supporting MGMT as a major mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in malignant gliomas is reviewed and ongoing studies that are testing resistance-modulating strategies are described.
NOA-04 randomized phase III trial of sequential radiochemotherapy of anaplastic glioma with procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine or temozolomide.

- 10 December 2009
IDH1 mutations are a novel positive prognostic factor in anaplastic gliomas, with a favorable impact stronger than that of 1p/19q codeletion or MGMT promoter methylation and associated with prolonged PFS in the chemotherapy and radiotherapy arm.
