Reduced Expression of Cytokeratin 20 in Colorectal Carcinomas With High Levels of Microsatellite Instability
17 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
High levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) result from abnormal nucleotide mismatch repair in a subset of sporadic colorectal carcinomas (CRC) and in most CRC of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome. CRC with MSI-H have distinctive clinical-pathologic features, but the immunophenotype has not been studied extensively. We evaluated immunohistochemical expression of cytokeratin 7 (CK7),...
