Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) can progress through two pathways of genomic instability: chromosomal (CIN) and microsatellite instability (MSI). We hypothesized that these two pathways are not always independent and that some tumors therefore show a significant degree of overlap between these two mechanisms. We classified 209 high-risk stage II and stage III sporadic CRCs based on their MSI status, using a National...
