Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic instability is a hallmark of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a significant event in the tumorigenesis of many sporadic malignancies. The aim of our investigation was to study microsatellite instability in newly diagnosed glioblastomas. METHODS: MSI was investigated in 109 GBMs with 15 microsatellite markers. Immunohistochemistry was performed for the mismatch...
