Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) is a distinct pathway
of carcinogenesis with prognostic implications. MSI is identified through the use of several …

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is associated with better prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides (EMAST) is a less …

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

Objectives: Tumors with high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) have unique
biological behavior and the predictive role of microsatellite instability (MSI) status on survival …

Background Microsatellite instability (MSI) was suggested as a marker for good prognosis in
colorectal cancer in 1993 and a systematic review from 2005 and a meta-analysis from 2010 …

Purpose: In a series of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients, we
evaluated the sensitivities of the individual microsatellites recommended by the National …

A panel of five quasimonomorphic mononucleotide repeats that dispenses with the need to
analyse corresponding germline DNA was proposed by Suraweera et al for the detection of …

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 …

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: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a distinct molecular phenotype of
colorectal cancer related to prognosis and tumour response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based …
