A tale of two pathways: Review of immune checkpoint inhibitors in DNA mismatch repair‐deficient and microsatellite instability‐high endometrial cancers
29 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway is critical for correcting DNA mismatches generated during DNA replication. MMR-deficiency (MMR-D) leads to microsatellite instability (MSI) associated with an increased mutation rate, driving cancer development. This is particularly relevant in endometrial cancer (EC) as 25%-30% of tumors are of MMR-D/MSI-high (MSI-H) phenotype. Comprehensive assessment using...
