  • Publication number: 20140142101
    Abstract: Interestingly, for prognosis, the significant biomarkers for Gefitinib-treated GBM patients (RTOG 0211) appeared to differ compared to historical, RT and non-Gefitinib-treated GBM patients. In Gefitinib-treated patients, those with higher levels of nuclear pAKT driven by PTEN loss, higher levels of nuclear pMAPK, and lower levels of nuclear pmTOR had significantly worse clinical outcomes. In contrast, in non-Gefitinib-treated patients, patients with PTEN-deficiency, and higher levels of EGFRvIII, total EGFR, IGFR1, NFkB and lower levels of nuclear Survivin appeared to have adverse clinical outcomes, highlighting the treatment-dependency of these biomarkers.
