Microsatellite instability (MSI) is the molecular hallmark of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency. Since its initial description in colorectal cancer (CRC) in 1993 and its association with Lynch syndrome, the most common inherited cancer predisposition world-wide, accumulating evidence suggests tha...
