Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both defects in mismatch repair (dMMR) and high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) have been recognised as crucial biomarkers that guide treatment strategies and disease management in colorectal cancer (CRC). As MMR and MSI tests are being widely conducted, an increasing number of MSI-H tumours have been identified in CRCs with mismatch repair proficiency (pMMR). The objective of this study was to...
