Association between chromosomal instability and prognosis in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis
27 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that microsatellite instability (MSI) resulting from defective DNA mismatch repair confers a better prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, however, data have suggested this is secondary to the effects of ploidy/chromosomal instability (CIN).
