Tumor microsatellite instability in early onset gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Genetic factors are implicated, including DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency manifested as tumor microsatellite instability (MSI). However, a standardized panel of markers and a definition of low-versus-high level MSI in GC are lacking. We examined a population-based cohort of early onset (
