Abstract
The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor was determined in a series of 88 patients with glioblastoma multiforme using a monoclonal antibody to the receptor. Positive staining was seen in 17 patients b ut this did not have prognostic significance when compared with known clinical prognostic factors using a computer model. The significance o f receptor expression in these tumours is discussed.
