Comparison of survival outcomes for patients with Lynch vs non‐Lynch syndrome and microsatellite unstable colorectal cancer treated with immunotherapy
11 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes like MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 can lead to microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors. These mutations can be inherited, as in Lynch syndrome (LS), or occur de novo. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) improves survival in MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to chemotherapy, data comparing outcomes for patients with germline versus somatic MMR...
