Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) contributes to the tumorigenesis of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UUT-UCs). In this study, we first used MLH1 and MSH2 immunohistochemistry to identify patients with loss of expression of either or both of these proteins in 132 UUT-UCs. We found a total loss of MSH2 expression in 4 patients. MSI was evaluated using 5 markers in these 4 cases. All of the tumors had...
