Colorectal cancer carcinogenesis: a review of mechanisms
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common in men globally. CRC arises from one or a combination of chromosomal instability, CpG island methylator phenotype, and microsatellite instability.

ABSTRACT Cancer is a result of uncontrolled cell growth with the potential to damage or spread to another part of the body. It is the deadliest disease in the world; therefore, rapid and sensitive detection is essential to fight it. In the past few decades, many diagnosis tools have been developed to detect cancer and monitor therapy progress.

Lynch syndrome is the most common autosomal dominant inherited cancer predisposing syndrome, due to mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. The key feature of cancers in Lynch syndrome is microsatellite instability and a high risk of developing mainly ...

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.

Background. In gastric carcinogenesis, changes of DNA methylation appear to be an early molecular event, and the genome-wide methylation state is closely correlated with the level of long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (LINE-1) methylation.

Epigenomics‐guided precision oncology: Chromatin variants in prostate tumor evolution
Abstract Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that in 5%–30% leads to treatment‐resistant and highly aggressive disease. Metastasis‐potential and treatment‐resistance is thought to rely on increased plasticity of the cancer cells—a mechanism whereby cancer cells alter their identity to adapt to changing environments or therapeutic pressures to create

Microsatellite Instability and Loss of Heterozygosity in Melanoma
Alterations in the repeat length of microsatellites have been identified recently in tumors arising in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer and in several human sporadic tumors. We examined 40 sporadic melanomas and their corresponding nontumorous skin for microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosomes 2q,

Temporal trends in incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Denmark from 2007 to 2022
What's New? Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the Western world. Widespread use of screening programs has helped raise awareness of the disease and improve survival rates. To make sure screening, treatment, research, and education goals stay relevant, it is important to collect accurate population‐based estimates of CRC ...

Chromosomal instability in untreated primary prostate cancer as an indicator of metastatic potential. [PDF]
BackgroundMetastatic prostate cancer (PC) is highly lethal. The ability to identify primary tumors capable of dissemination is an unmet need in the quest to understand lethal biology and improve patient outcomes.
