*

Plus–minus values are means ± SD. GEO denotes Gene Expression Omnibus, and NA not available.

The types of data include clinical-outcome data (C), gene-expression data (E), gene copy number data (G), methylation status of the MGMT promoter (M), and sequencing data (S).

There were 219 patients in study set 1; clinical data were available for 207 of those patients.

§

Twenty-two patients had matched tumor pairs from the initial diagnosis and recurrent disease; therefore, 71 tumors were assessed in study set 7.

Study set 10 included 76 patients with glioblastoma who were treated as part of a phase 2 trial or a European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)/National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) randomized phase 3 trial (22981-26981/CE.38), both of which evaluated the addition of concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide to radiotherapy.31,32
