Microsatellite Instability Accounts for Tumor Site-Related Differences in Clinicopathologic Variables and Prognosis in Human Colon Cancers
6 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Colon cancers with high frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) are preferentially located in the proximal colon. Given that 15-20% of sporadic colon cancers are MSI-H, we determined whether tumor site-specific differences in clinicopathological variables, biomarkers, and prognosis are due to inclusion of MSI-H cases. METHODS: TNM stage II and III primary colon carcinomas (N = 528) from patients...
