چکیده

Microsatellite instable gastric cancer (MSI-GC) is a specific molecular subtype of GC. We studied the phenotypes, genotypes, and clinicopathologic characteristics of MSI-GC in a white GC cohort and compared our findings with an extended literature review. The study cohort consisted of 482 patients. Specimens were available from 452 cases and were used for immunostaining (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, MSH6) and molecular biological analyses (BAT-25, BAT-26, NR-21, NR-24, NR-27; Epstein-Barr virus in situ hybridization). Thirty-four (7.5%) GCs were MSI. Loss of MLH1 and/or PMS2 was found in 30 (88%) MSI-GC, 3 (9%) showed loss of MSH2 and/or MSH6. One (3%) MSI-GC was identified only by molecular biological testing. A single case was heterogeneous and contained microsatellite-stable and instable tumor areas. Twenty-one (62%) MSI-GCs showed unusual histologic features. MSI-GC was not found in diffuse-type or Epstein-Barr virus-positive GC. MSI-GC was significantly more prevalent in elderly patients, distal stomach, and was associated with a significantly lower number of lymph node metastases and a significantly better overall and tumor-specific survival. MSI-GC constitutes a small but relevant subgroup of GC with distinct clinicopathologic characteristics. Our literature review illustrates the shortcomings of missing standardized testing algorithms with prevalences of MSI-GC ranging from 0% to 44.5%. Future studies should test the hypothesis that patients with MSI-GCs may not need adjuvant/perioperative chemotherapy. However, this will require a standardized, quality-controlled diagnostic algorithm of MSI for GC.

Clinicopathologic Characteristics of Left-Sided Colon Cancers with High Microsatellite Instability

Background : High microsatellite instability (MSI-H) colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) with numerous mutations in the microsatellite sequence are characterized by a right-sided preponderance, frequent peritumoral and intratumoral lymphocytic infiltration, and frequent mucin production. However, no study has correlated anatomic site and type of genetic changes with clinicopathologic changes. Methods ...

Adenocarcinoma of the large intestine can no longer be considered one disease but rather a family of diseases with different precursor lesions, different molecular pathways, and different end-stage carcinomas with varying prognoses. Approximately 60% of colorectal carcinomas arise from conventional adenomas via the suppressor pathway leading to microsatellite stable carcinomas. These carcinomas...
