Abstract

BACKGROUND: The O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repairing enzyme that has been established as an essential clinical brain tumor biomarker for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Knowing the status of MGMT methylation biomarkers using multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) helps neuro-oncologists to analyze GBM and its treatment plan.
