Excerpt

Temozolomide, an alkylating imidazol tetrazine derivative, inhibits DNA replication and is used successfully in the management of patients with gliomas and other malignancies [5, 12]. Recent studies showed the drug to be effective in patients with pituitary carcinoma and aggressive pituitary adenoma [1, 2, 7, 10, 14]. …
