Glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant brain tumor with most patients dying within 1 year after diagnosis. $O^6$-Methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is implicated as a major predictive factor for treatment response to alkylating agents including temozolomide (TMZ). In general, epigenetic silencing of the $MGMT$ gene by promoter methylation is associated with loss of MGMT protein expression. We investigated the correlation between MGMT protein expression and $MGMT$ methylation status and the prognostic relevance of TP53 and Ki-67 in a series of glioblastomas. A total of twenty-eight patients between 2008 and 2011 were included in this study. Nineteen patients (68%) showed nuclear TP53 immunopositivity, and mean Ki-67 index was 27%. Immunohistochemistry for MGMT protein revealed high expression (>30% positive cells) in 11 tumors, and low expression (${leq}$30% positive cells) in 17 tumors. There was a good correlation between immunoreactivity for MGMT protein, Ki-67 index and tumor extent. MGMT promoter methylation as well as MGMT protein expression was completely uncorrelated to survival prediction; neither TP53 nor Ki-67 were correlated to survival. Our study confirms the role of the Ki-67 index and the extent of tumor as two important factors associated with prognosis of glioblastoma. In contrast, MGMT protein expression as well as the $MGMT$ promoter methylation status does not provide prognostically relevant information.
