Genetic factors can dramatically influence the risk of colorectal cancer, and the molecular
bases of many hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, including familial adenomatous …

Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in most hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers
(HNPCC) and less frequently in sporadic tumors as the result of DNA mismatch repair …

Background&Aims: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of
developing colorectal cancer (CRC). We sought to determine the frequency of high-level …

There is increased incidence of microsatellite instability (MSI) in patients who develop
multiple primary colorectal cancers (CRC), although the association with hereditary …

Microsatellite instability (MSI) was initially reported in colorectal cancer and, particularly, in
hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Since mutations in the genes …

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 …

Quantum size effects are becoming increasingly important in microelectronics, as the
dimensions of the structures shrink laterally towards 100 nm and vertically towards 10 nm …

Objective: A subset of sporadic colorectal cancers (SCRCs) exhibits microsatellite instability
(MSI). Most MSI in SCRCs is caused by hMLH1 inactivation due to promoter methylation …

The purpose of the present report was to examine the possibility of molecular pathological
subtyping of mucinous adenocarcinomas (MAC) of the colorectum. Thirty‐five formalin‐fixed …

Molecular analysis of tumor tissue has become a rapidly expanding field in medical
research, exploiting the advantages of new technologies adapted to high-throughput …
