Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability characterizes a sub-set of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs) as well as CRCs from patients with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). In order to clarify when the cells acquire a replication-error phenotype (RER) during colorectal-tumor progression, we examined the incidence of RER in 80 primary tumors and 36 liver metastases at 8 microsatellite loci; 1 mono-, 5 di-, 1...
