Genetic changes of MLH1 and MSH2 genes could explain constant findings on microsatellite instability in intracranial meningioma [PDF]

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
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

Instability in Pentanucleotide Markers in a Subset of Microsatellite Instability-High Colorectal Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Oncology
Microsatellite instability (MSI) testing is frequently used to screen patients for the early detection of Lynch syndrome, the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome. MSI testing compares microsatellite repeat lengths in tumor DNA with those in

Genetic Features of Metachronous Esophageal Cancer Developed in Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Breast Cancer Long-Term Survivors: An Exploratory Study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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.

Dramatic response to pembrolizumab after pseudoprogression in a patient with advanced metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesIJU Case Reports, 2022
Introduction Prostate cancer with a microsatellite instability‐high or mismatch repair‐deficient status is not common. Few reports of the response to pembrolizumab in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer in a real‐world setting have been ...

Microsatellite instability-high gastric cancer patients may benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy

open access: yesLibri Oncologici, 2023
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.

Long response duration to pembrolizumab in metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer with microsatellite instability-high and neuroendocrine differentiation: A case report

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundThe detection of microsatellite instability in urologic cancers is rare, especially in metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation.Case presentationThis is a case of a 66-year-old Asian male patient with

An integrative in-silico analysis discloses a novel molecular subset of colorectal cancer possibly eligible for immune checkpoint immunotherapy

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2022
Background Historically, the molecular classification of colorectal cancer (CRC) was based on the global genomic status, which identified microsatellite instability in mismatch repair (MMR) deficient CRC, and chromosomal instability in MMR proficient CRC.

Microsatellite instability states serve as predictive biomarkers for tumors chemotherapy sensitivity

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: There is an urgent need for markers to predict the efficacy of different chemotherapy drugs. Herein, we examined whether microsatellite instability (MSI) status can predict tumor multidrug sensitivity and explored the underlying mechanisms.
