Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors constitute ∼15% of localized colorectal cancers (CRCs). Prognostic biomarkers such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and BRAF and KRAS mutations may guide personalized treatment for these patients, and this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate their impact on survival outcomes.
