Microsatellite instability in endometrial carcinomas: Frequent replication errors in tumors of early onset and/or of poorly differentiated type
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
Endometrial and ovarian carcinomas are common among women belonging to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC) families; tumors developing in them are characterized by genetic instability due to an inherited dysfunction of the DNA-mismatch-repair system. To clarify the role of similar genetic factors in sporadic forms of gynecological tumors, we examined 77 endometrial and 68 ovarian carcinomas for...
