Microsatellite instability( MSI) in colorectal carcinoma is reportedly associated with resistance to 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. Moreover, colorectal cancer patients aged ≤ 50 years could potentially have Lynch syndrome. In the present study, we examined 11 colorectal cancer patients with unresectable Stage IV disease who underwent resection of the primary tumor between January 2006 and December 2012. The relationship between the MSI status and the efficacy of first- line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy was retrospectively examined. The MSI status included MSI-H in 1 patient, MSS-L in 2 patients, and MSS in 8 patients. The MSI-H in 1 patient was associated with familial adenomatous polyposis. Following chemotherapy, among 8 MSS patients, 3 showed stable disease (SD) and 1 showed partial response (PR). Moreover 2 MSH-L patients and 1 MSI-H patient showed progressive disease (PD) after chemotherapy. However, additional data collection is required to determine the effect of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for MSS-H or MSS-L colorectal patients aged ≤ 59 years.

Objective: This investigation attempted to examine the effectiveness of CT-derived peritumoral and intratumoral radiomics in forecasting microsatellite instability (MSI) status preoperatively among gastric cancer (GC) patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on GC patients from February 2019 to December 2023 across three healthcare institutions. 364 patients (including 41 microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and 323 microsatellite instability-low/stable (MSI-L/S)) were stratified into a training set (n = 202), an internal validation set (n = 84), and an external validation set (n = 78).

Background: Few studies have explored the genetic changes and clinicopathological features of stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) patients with no tumor recurrence, early recurrence, or late recurrence after curative surgery.

Methods: In this study, 376 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage II/III GC were analyzed. The clinical and genetic features of patients with no recurrence, early recurrence (<2 years), and late recurrence (≥2 years) were compared.

BACKGROUND Programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors have demonstrated limited effectiveness in patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC). Recent studies suggest that their efficacy can be enhanced when combined with anti-angiogenic agents. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 25-year-old woman with CRC harboring a KRAS mutation and MSI-H status, along with initially unresectable liver metastases.

Background: Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are the dominant population in immune checkpoint blockade treatments, while more than half of them could not benefit from single-agent immunotherapy. We tried to identify the biomarker of MSI-H CRC and explore its role and mechanism in anti-PD-1 treatments. Tumor-specific MHC-II was linked to a better response to anti-PD-1 in MSI-H CRC and CD74 promoted assembly and transport of HLA-DR dimers.

Background: Intimal sarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma with limited treatment options. We explored genomic profiles of intimal sarcoma to uncover therapeutic implications.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed tumor tissues from patients with intimal sarcoma who visited the Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) using whole-exome, whole-transcriptome, and clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS), integrated with intimal sarcoma NGS data from two public cohorts.
