The authors conducted a retrospective study of 94 patients with advanced cancer who underwent next‐generation sequencing (NGS) gene panel analysis and received targeted treatments when applicable. Results further support evidence indicating that molecular profiling provides clinical benefit.

DNA mismatch‐repair gene mutations, with consequent loss of functional protein expression, result in microsatellite instability (MSI). Microsatellite sequences are found in coding regions and in regulatory regions of genes (i.e., 5′‐UTRs and 3′‐UTRs). In

Biomaterial-induced sarcomagenesis is not associated with microsatellite instability [PDF]
Sarcomagenesis, in contrast to carcinogenesis, is poorly understood. Microsatellite instability has been implicated in the development of many cancers, in particular those associated with chronic inflammatory conditions.

Strong HLA-DR expression in microsatellite stable carcinomas of the large bowel is associated with good prognosis [PDF]
Progression of colorectal cancer may follow either of two main genetic routes: the chromosome- or microsatellite-instability pathways. Association between the patients' prognosis and microsatellite instability has been questioned.

Genomic instability in human cancer: molecular insights and opportunities for therapeutic attack and prevention through diet and nutrition [PDF]
Genomic instability can initiate cancer, augment progression, and influence the overall prognosis of the affected patient. Genomic instability arises from many different pathways, such as telomere damage, centrosome amplification, epigenetic ...

A Genetic Vaccine Encoding Shared Cancer Neoantigens to Treat Tumors with Microsatellite Instability
These findings demonstrate the feasibility of an “off the shelf” vaccine for treatment and prevention of tumors harboring frameshift mutations and neoantigenic peptides as a result of microsatellite instability.

Cell‐free DNA aneuploidy score as a dynamic early response marker in prostate cancer
mFast‐SeqS‐based genome‐wide aneuploidy scores are concordant with aneuploidy scores obtained by whole genome sequencing from tumor tissue and can predict response to ARSI treatment at baseline and, at an early time point, to ARSI and taxanes. This assay can be easily performed at low cost and requires little input of cfDNA. Cell‐free circulating tumor

In molecular cancer diagnostics, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is going to replace the small NGS panels since it provides all clinically relevant somatic variants as well as genomic biomarkers with clinical value. Here, we compared two CGP assays and demonstrate that the choice for diagnostic implementation will depend on the specific ...

Microsatellite instability states serve as predictive biomarkers for tumors chemotherapy sensitivity
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.
