## Background: Few studies have focused on the presence and significance of microsatellite instability (msi) in gastric polyps, and the results on record are conflicting. the aim of the current study was to address this issue, taking into consideration the 2 main types of gastric polyps, the coexis

β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
It is generally known that replication errors (RERs) at microsatellite loci detected in human malignancies reflect a genetic instability that is caused by abnormalities of DNA mismatch repair system and underlie human carcinogenesis. The authors analyzed RERs in precancerous lesions and adenocarcinomas of the stomach to learn when genetic instability occurs in stomach carcinogenesis. In addition, the authors examined genetic alterations of the p53 and adenoniatous polyposis coli (APC) genes to investigate the correlation between genetic instability and genetic alterations in these tumor suppressor genes.

## Abstract Approximately 15% of small intestinal adenocarcinomas show inactivation of DNAβmismatch repair (MMR) and display highβlevel microsatellite instability (MSIβH). MSIβH tumors progress as a result of mutations affecting coding microsatellites (coding microsatellite instability, cMSI) that
## Abstract The role of microsatellite alterations other than loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the progression of benign epithelium to headβandβneck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) has not been previously described. As the severity of the dysplasia increases at the microscopic level, there is an increa
Alterations of the E (epithelial)-cadherin gene are often involved in undifferentiated-type carcinomas of the stomach, but not in the differentiated type. Recently, it was recognized that certain differentiated-type carcinomas possess the features of gastric foveolar epithelium. Such carcinomas are
