Genetic changes of MLH1 and MSH2 genes could explain constant findings on microsatellite instability in intracranial meningioma [PDF]
Postreplicative mismatch repair safeguards the stability of our genome. The defects in its functioning will give rise to microsatellite instability. In this study, 50 meningiomas were investigated for microsatellite instability. Two major mismatch repair

Microsatellite Instability and BAT-26 Marker Expression in a Mexican Prostate Cancer Population with Different Gleason Scores. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide. While standard treatments often provide good initial results, many patients eventually develop resistance and experience a more aggressive relapse ...

Genetic Features of Metachronous Esophageal Cancer Developed in Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Breast Cancer Long-Term Survivors: An Exploratory Study. [PDF]
Background Development of novel therapeutic drugs and regimens for cancer treatment has led to improvements in patient long-term survival. This success has, however, been accompanied by the increased occurrence of second primary cancers.

Clinical and morphological portrait of tumors with microsatellite instability
Background. Microsatellites are short tandem nucleotide repeats, the change in length of which plays a key roles in the pathogenesis of various malignant neoplasms. This change is called microsatellite instability.

DNA content analysis of colorectal cancer defines a distinct ‘microsatellite and chromosome stable’ group but does not predict response to radiotherapy [PDF]
Colorectal cancers (CRC) are thought to have genetic instability in the form of either microsatellite instability (MSI) or chromosomal instability (CIN).

Microsatellite instability-high gastric cancer patients may benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy
Gastric cancer remains one of the deadliest types of cancer despite the improvements in therapy regimens. The knowledge about specific molecular and histopathologic features of gastric tumors leads toward targeted therapy protocols.

Relationship between protein biomarkers of chemotherapy response and microsatellite status, tumor mutational burden and PD-L1 expression in cancer patients. [PDF]
Chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies are increasingly used in combinations. We determined associations between the presence of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapeutic biomarkers and protein markers of potential chemotherapy response.
