Journal ArticleDOI

Use of 5-fluorouracil and survival in patients with microsatellite-unstable colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: There is improved survival in patients with non-microsatellite instability-high tumors after 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy that does not extend to patients with microsatellite Stability, consistent with in vitro studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of activin receptor type 2 protein expression in microsatellite unstable colon cancers.

TL;DR: ACVR2 mutations are highly frequent in MSI-H colon cancers and in most cases cause loss of ACVR2 expression, indicating biallelic inactivation of the gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of target gene mutations on survival, stage and histology in sporadic microsatellite unstable colon cancers.

TL;DR: Mutations in TGFBR2 and BAX may improve survival in MSI‐H Dukes B2 patients, and mutations of ACVR2 may augment histological changes consistent with poor tumor grade that is characteristic of MSI‐h colon cancers, and increase tumor size.
