- Abstract
Microsatellite instability (MSI) has been identified as a factor with good prognosis and chemosensitivity in stage III C colon cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the routine use of immunohistochemical analysis (immunohistochemical staining of MSH2 and MLH1) to identify T3N0M0 (stage II) colon cancer with MSI and assess the prognostic value of this analysis. The study was conducted in a large cohort of patients in a single institution who had a curatively resected T3N0M0 colon cancer and were not receiving adjuvant therapy.
