Effects of microsatellite instability on recurrence patterns and outcomes in colorectal cancers
26 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Among colorectal cancers (CRCs), high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) is associated with a better prognosis, compared with low-frequency MSI or microsatellite stability (MSI-L/MSS). However, it is unclear whether MSI affects the prognosis of recurrent CRCs. METHODS: This study included 2940 patients with stage I-III CRC who underwent complete resection. The associations of MSI status with...
