Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR)/Microsatellite instability (MSI) plays a central role in colorectal cancer (CRC) as a predictive and prognostic biomarker and as a "red flag" for diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome (LS).

Several reports suggested that HER2 amplification could be mutually exclusive with dMMR/MSI, which is mostly associated with...
