Abstract excerpt
Tumors demonstrating deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) account for 12%-15% of colorectal cancers (CRCs), but their characteristics have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to characterize dMMR CRCs in terms of clinicopathological findings and molecular alterations. Immunostaining for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins was performed to determine MMR status, and then MLH1 promoter methylation and...
