EMAST Type of Microsatellite Instability—A Distinct Entity or Blurred Overlap between Stable and MSI Tumors
19 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MSI) represents an accumulation of frameshifts in short tandem repeats, microsatellites, across the genome due to defective DNA mismatch repair (dMMR). MSI has been associated with distinct clinical, histological, and molecular features of tumors and has proven its prognostic and therapeutic value in different types of cancer. Recently, another type of microsatellite instability named...
