39 NIVERSITAS STVDIORV Conclusions 1 ADCmin value of the SC of the tumor and the ADCindex value correlated significantly with overall survival, independently of the MGMT status.

40 NIVERSITAS STVDIORV Conclusions 1 ADCmin value of the SC of the tumor and the ADCíndex value correlated significantly with overall survival, independently of the MGMT status. 2 There were no significant differences in the values of ADC in the patients with MGMT methylation and MGMT non methylation status.

41 NIVERSITAS STVDIORV Conclusions Our findings suggest that ADC values are not useful to predict the MGMT status.. But it is strong independent predictors of survival in those patients
