Detectability of colorectal neoplasia with fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to analyze the detectability of colorectal neoplasia with fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). Data for a total of 492 patients who had undergone both PET/CT

Microsatellite Instability as a Biomarker for PD-1 Blockade
Initial results by Le and colleagues, which were published in the June 25, 2015 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, report significant responses of cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI) to anti–PD-1 inhibitors in patients who failed ...

Microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer
Abstract Background Microsatellite instability (MSI) causes hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), and occurs in about 15 per cent of sporadic colorectal cancers. Although the basic mechanisms are not clear, there is increased understanding of the clinicopathological consequences of MSI.

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.

Microsatellite instability and defects in mismatch repair proteins: a new aetiology for Sertoli cell‐only syndrome [PDF]
Microsatellite instability is characteristic of certain types of cancer, and is present in rodents lacking specific DNA mismatch repair proteins. These azoospermic mice exhibit spermatogenic defects similar to some human testicular failure patients ...
