Colorectal cancer among young native Indonesians: A clinicopathological and molecular assessment on microsatellite instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: To obtain clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer among young native Indonesians and to assess MLH1, MSH2, and SMAD4 protein expressions, comparing them with a matched population of colorectal cancer patients aged 60 years old and older. Methods: Medical records of colorectal cancer patients aged 40 years or younger and 60 years or older from several hospitals in three Indonesian cities – Jakarta, Makassar, and Bandung were reviewed. The “native” ethnic groups were selected from those originating from Java, Makassar (South Celebes), Miinangkabau (West Sumatra). Ethnicity of 121 colorectal carcinoma patients was confirmed by fulfilling requirements in a questionnaire. Tumor specimens of those patients underwent evaluation for histopathology, tumor grading as well as immunohistochemical analysis to assess MLH1, MSH2 protein expressions to detect microsatellite instability mutation pathway and SMAD4 protein expression to reconfirm that the specimens were not microsatellite instability origin. Results: There were 121 colorectal carcinoma cases of Sundanese, Javanese, Macassarese and Minangkabau ethnic group. This study indicated that colorectal cancer has statistically different grade (p = 0.001) between the young and the older patients. Immunohistochemical staining for MSH2 protein and MLH1 were done for 92 and 97 specimens respectively. There was no significant difference between the expressions of MLH1 and MSH2 on tumor grading, indicated there was no correlation between microsatellite instability and tumor grading in this study. Conclusion: Colorectal cancer in young native Indonesian patients (40 years old or less) was not different in clinicopathological characteristics compared to older patients (60 years old or more) in similar ethnic groups. There was also no difference in MSH2 and MLH1 protein expressions, important indicators of microsatellite instability and . (Med J Indones 2010; 19:245-51)

Molecular Analysis of Microsatellite Instability in Hereditary Non Polyposis Colon Carcinoma Patients from North-East Iran
Background and Objectives: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germ-line mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. Tumors arising as a result of these mutations display instability in a sequence area known as microsatellites. Studies have shown that some Bethesda markers (BAT25, BAT26) are more efficient than other...

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular marker of a deficient mismatch repair system and happens in almost 15% of CRCs. Because of a wide frequency of MSI+ CRC in Iran compared to other parts of the world, the importance of screening for this type of cancer is highlighted. Methods: The most common MSI detecti...
متن کاملCOLORECTAL CANCER Low level microsatellite instability may be associated with reduced cancer specific survival in sporadic stage C colorectal carcinoma
Background: Colorectal cancers (CRCs) may be categorised according to the degree of microsatellite instability (MSI) exhibited, as MSI-high (MSI-H), MSI-low (MSI-L), or microsatellite stable (MSS). MSI-H status confers a survival advantage to patients with sporadic CRC. Aims: To determine if low levels of MSI are related to the clinicopathological features and prognosis of sporadic stage C CRC....

Various studies have suggested the existence of different pathways of tumor progression in colorectal cancer that associate with specific molecular, chromosomal, and clinicopathological features. We hypothesize that a comprehensive analysis of cumulated genomic damage in colorectal cancers would aid the characterization of different tumor progression pathways and identify the factors determinin...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The frequency of microsatellite instability (MSI) in young patients with colorectal cancer was evaluated, including reexamination of the medical and family history of each patient, and interviews with the patients to determine any possible new occurrence of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) in the patients themselves or their family members. METHODS F...
