Dietary intake and microsatellite instability in colon tumors

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in approximately 15% of colon tumors. Other than relatively rare mutations in mismatch repair genes, the causes of MSI are not generally known. The purpose of this study was to determine if dietary intake of nutrients previously reported as being associated with colon cancer relate specifically to the MSI disease pathway. Data from a population-based case-control study of...
