Higher Frequency of Diploidy in Young-Onset Microsatellite-Stable Colorectal Cancer

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) can be divided into two nonoverlapping groups: those that are chromosomally unstable but microsatellite stable (MSS CIN+) and those that are chromosomally stable but microsatellite unstable (MSI CIN-). However, a third group with neither chromosome nor microsatellite instability (MSS CIN-) makes a substantial contribution to the total CRC burden. The clinicopathologic features...
