Results Loss of MLH1 was observed in 18/47 (38.3%) patients. Age of patients did not differ between MLH1-negative and MLH1-positive tumors (61.2±11.0 years and 61.4 ±10.4 years, respectively). The comparison of characteristics of the tumors with and without MLH1 loss is summarized in table 1.Conclusions Loss of MLH1 was associated with bigger tumors, MELF pattern of myoinvasion, and positive lymph nodes. Tumors with MLH1 loss presented more myometrial infiltration, more LVSI, and more TILs, although it did not reach a statistical level of significance. The presence of higher percentage of TILs, as well MLH1 loss itself, may indicate immunotherapy susceptibility.
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.
