In this study, the relationship between MSI (microsatellite instability) and the parameters such as age, stage, histologic grade, recurrence, overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) were investigated in 99 endometrioid adenocancer patients. Our aim is to find out the whether there is a prognostic value of MSI in endometrium adenocarcinoma. In MSI analysis, by employing the Promega MSI Analysis System. 'IBM SPSS v.20' was used for statistical analysis. MSI was identified in 19.1% of patients. There was no statistically significant effect of MSI on OS (p = 0.404) or on DFS (p = 0.407). MSI was found associated with younger age (p = 0.032), lymph node involvement (p = 0.012) and advanced stage (p = 0.014).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
