Pseudoprogression (PsP) occurs at a higher rate in glioblastoma multiforme with a methylated MGMT promoter-a subset with increased sensitivity to chemoradiotherapy and better overall prognosis. In oligodendroglioma (OG) and oligoastrocytoma (OA), presence of 1p/19q codeletions is highly predictive of response to treatment and is often associated with the methylated MGMT promoter; hence, this study queries whether the presence of 1p/19q codeletions in OG/OA correlates with a higher rate of PsP following therapy.
