## Abstract Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an endemic malignancy prevalent in South East Asia. Epidemiological studies have associated this disease closely with EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) infection. Previous studies also showed that EBV reactivation is implicated in the progression of NPC. Thus, w
Microsatellite length instability, probably resulting from defective DNA mismatch repair mechanisms, has been described in a variety of cancers. Such genetic instability may play a significant role in tumor formation and progression. To investigate the role of microsatellite alterations in meningiom
