Implications of Familial Colorectal Cancer Risk Profiles and Microsatellite Instability Status
24 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Estimating familial colorectal cancer (CRC) risk is clinically important in being able to discriminate between high- and low-risk groups. To quantify familial CRC risks associated with mismatch repair (MMR) deficient and microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors, we analyzed 2,941 population-based cases of CRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: MMR status in CRCs was established by testing for microsatellite instability...
