Correlation between patient weight and defects in DNA mismatch repair: is this the link between an increased risk of previous cancer in thinner women with endometrial cancer?

Abstract excerpt

The objective is to determine the relationship between obesity and defects in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) in women with endometrial cancer and to establish whether our previous finding of a higher rate of previous malignancy in thinner women with endometrial cancer is related to these factors. Specimens from 109 patients with primary uterine cancer were used to create a tissue microarray, which was stained with...
