Background and aims Colorectal cancers exhibiting microsatellite instability (MSI) appear to
have unique biological behavior. The influence of MSI on the prognosis of sporadic …

The influence of microsatellite instability (MSI) on the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC)
requires more investigation. We assessed the role of MSI status in survival of individuals …

Background: Colorectal cancers (CRCs) may be categorised according to the degree of
microsatellite instability (MSI) exhibited, as MSI-high (MSI-H), MSI-low (MSI-L), or …

Background A microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype is found in about 12% of colorectal
cancers (CRCs) and is associated with a low recurrence rate after curative surgery. Several …

Purpose The objectives of the study were to estimate the incidence and clarify the
clinicopathologic feature of sporadic microsatellite instability (MSI)-high (MSI-H) colon …

Purpose About 10 to 15% of patients with sporadic colorectal cancer display mutations in
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes shown as microsatellite instability (MSI). Previous …

Background We evaluated the relationship between biological behavior and microsatellite
instability (MSI) status, with or without p53 status, in sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Methods …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features of and the
prognosis for colorectal cancers (CRCs) with microsatellite instabilities (MSIs). Methods …

Pathological stage is currently the most important determinant of colorectal cancer
prognosis. Hence, identification of additional prognostic markers is warranted. This study …

Introduction High microsatellite instability (MSI-H) occurs in about 15% of colorectal cancers
(CRC) and clinical as well as pathological features differ from tumours exhibiting low …
