Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in about 15% of gastrointestinal cancers and it is associated with specific clinic, pathologic, and molecular features of the tumors. MSI-high (MSI-H) carcinomas also follow specific tumor development pathways. This review is focused on the molecular profile of alterations in members of the KRAS signaling pathway (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, RASSF1A, and MLK3 genes) in MSI...
