Microsatellite instability and mismatch repair protein expressions in lymphocyte-predominant breast cancer

Respuesta :

A Final statement or concluding statement

Despite common clinical anticipation that many patients would respond to immune-checkpoint inhibitors, the frequency of microsatellite instability (MSI) is reportedly exceedingly low in breast cancer (ICI).

Given that some triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) responded well to ICI in a clinical trial and that a high density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is frequently observed in other cancers with high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H), we hypothesized that some TNBC with a high density of TILs would be MSI-H.

TILs are abundant in medullary carcinoma of the breast (MedCa), an uncommon histological form. Given that MedCa in the colon is frequently MSI-H, we predicted that MedCa in breast cancer would also include MSI-H tumors.
