Popis: Several molecular markers have been proposed as predictors of outcome in patients with high grade gliomas. We report a retrospective multicenter study of 97 consecutive adult patients with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) treated with radiation therapy (RT) plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) between October 2004 and March 2012. Correlations between the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation with survival outcomes have been analyzed. At a median follow-up time of 46 months (range 12–89 months), median and 5-year overall survival rates were 50.5 months (95 % CI, 37.8–63.2) and 38 % (95 % CI, 25.7–50.7 %), and median and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 36 months (95 % CI, 28.5–44.0) and 22 % (95 % CI, 10–34 %), respectively. IDH1 mutation and MGMT promoter methylation were present in 54 and 60 % of evaluable patients, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that IDH1 mutation (P = 0.001), MGMT methylation (P = 0.01), age
