Immunohistochemical Pattern of MLH1/MSH2 Expression Is Related to Clinical and Pathological Features in Colorectal Adenocarcinomas with Microsatellite Instability
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Detection of colorectal carcinomas with high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) is clinically important for several reasons. Recent studies suggested that immunohistochemical analysis of MLH1 and MSH2 expression is a rapid and accurate method for identifying large bowel tumors of the MSI-H phenotype. In this study, we evaluated by immunohistochemistry MLH1 and MSH2 protein expression in 132 MSI-H, 23...
