Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes in colorectal cancer with microsatellite instability are activated and cytotoxic
27 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with colorectal cancer that display high-level microsatellite instability (MSI-H) appear to have a better prognosis. This may be explained by the pronounced T cell infiltrate seen in MSI-H tumours that is related to a specific antigen-driven immune response.
