Loss of Expression of DNA Mismatch Repair Proteins Is Rare in Pancreatic and Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Two recent studies have identified a high rate of microsatellite instability (MSI) in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Microsatellite instability is rare in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It is unclear why there is discordance in the frequency of MSI in the 2 studies of pNETs and why this mechanism is comparatively rare in small intestinal tumors. Loss of expression of DNA...
