Human breast-cancer specimens from 100 patients were analyzed for microsatellite instability (referred to as replication error; RER) at I 2 genomic loci on 7 chromosomes, and results were correlated with clinicopathologic characteristics. In 42 of I00 breast-cancer patients, we investigated whether
The reproducibility of microsatellite instability from different regions of the same sporadic colon cancer has not been addressed. We therefore microdissected and extracted DNA from three to nine separate regions of 13 highly unstable sporadic colon cancers. Each region was then evaluated by polymer
Cancers of the biliary tract, including cancers of the gallbladder, extra-hepatic bile ducts, and ampulla of Vater, are relatively uncommon malignancies. From 1972 to 1994, biliary tract cancer was the most rapidly rising malignancy in Shanghai, China, with a 119% increase in men and 124% in women.
