Immunohistochemistry versus Microsatellite Instability Testing For Screening Colorectal Cancer Patients at Risk For Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer Syndrome
13 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
The utility of immunohistochemical detection of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein in screening colorectal tumors for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome has been the focus of much intensive research over the last 10 years. Particular attention has been given to the relative usefulness of immunohistochemistry (IHC) versus testing of tumor microsatellite instability (MSI). Earlier work that...
