Policy Summary
This policy provides limited coverage for MGMT promoter methylation analysis in adult patients with high-grade malignant gliomas (e.g., GBM, anaplastic astrocytoma) when patients can tolerate temozolomide or radiation and when test results will be used to choose first-line adjuvant therapy (radiation vs chemotherapy or temozolomide vs other chemotherapy).
