Clinicoprognostical features of endometrial cancer patients with somatic mtDNA mutations [PDF]

, 2014
Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been found in a subset of endometrial cancers (EC) from different populations. We have investigated the relationship between mtDNA changes and clinical and pathological variables of women affected by ...

High prevalence of NTRK fusions in sporadic dMMR/MSI mCRC RAS/RAF wild-type: an opportunity for a post-immune checkpoint inhibitors progression rescue strategy

ESMO Gastrointestinal Oncology
Background: Currently, mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instable (dMMR/MSI) status constitutes a validated predictive marker of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Simple Mathematical Model Of Pathologic Microsatellite Expansions: When Self-Reparation Does Not Work

, 2007
We propose a simple model of pathologic microsatellite expansion, and describe an inherent self-repairing mechanism working against expansion. We prove that if the probabilities of elementary expansions and contractions are equal, microsatellite ...

Expression of the DNA mismatch repair proteins hMLH1 and hPMS2 in normal human tissues. [PDF]

, 1997
hMLH1 and hPMS2 are part of the DNA mismatch repair complex. Mutations in these genes have been linked to hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer; they also occur in a variety of sporadic cancers. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry demonstrated

A molecular portrait of microsatellite instability across multiple cancers

Nature Communications, 2017
Some cancers with DNA mismatch repair deficiency display microsatellite instability. Here the authors analyse twenty three cancer types at the exome and whole-genome level, and identify loci with recurrent microsatellite instability that could be used to

Mismatch Repair Deficiency and Microsatellite Instability

Encyclopedia, 2022
Mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) is caused by the biallelic inactivation of an MMR gene, which can be attributed either to an inherited or an acquired pathway.

Detectability of colorectal neoplasia with fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) [PDF]

, 2011
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

Mitochondrial DNA alteration in primary and metastatic colorectal cancer: Different frequency and association with selected clinicopathological and molecular markers

Tumor Biology, 2017
This study attempts to determine whether primary tumor tissue could reliably represent metastatic colorectal cancer in therapy-guiding analysis of mitochondrial microsatellite instability.

Fusobacterium nucleatum infection correlates with two types of microsatellite alterations in colorectal cancer and triggers DNA damage

Gut Pathogens, 2020
Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is frequently found in colorectal cancers (CRCs). High loads of Fn DNA are detected in CRC tissues with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), or with the CpG island hypermethylation phenotype (CIMP).

Potential novel therapy targets in neuroendocrine carcinomas of the breast [PDF]

, 2018
Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the breast is a rare, special type of breast cancer, reportedly constituting 2% to 5% of all breast cancers. Although breast NEC does not have a specific targeted therapy, several new targeted therapies based on specific
