## Abstract The notion of a CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) was proposed to describe a subset of colorectal cancers (CRC) displaying frequent and concordant methylation of CpG islands located within gene promoter regions. Some workers have failed to observe associations between CIMP and spec
The enzyme O 6 -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protects cells from the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of alkylating agents. Approximately 20% of tumor cell lines lack MGMT activity and are highly sensitive to alkylating agents. In established cancer cell lines, MGMT expression appears t
