Studies on prognostic significance of TGFBR2 or BAX mononucleotide mutation in MSI-high colorectal cancer.

CI, confidence interval; CIMP, CpG island methylator phenotype; CS, colorectal cancer-specific survival; HR, hazard ratio; LOH, loss of heterozygosity; MSI, microsatellite instability; MSS, microsatellite stable; NS, not significant; OS, overall survival;*Including MSS/MSI-low cases.†The authors (Kim et al. [25]) compared predictive effect of MSI for chemotherapy between the cases registered surgery alone and the cases registered chemotherapy.
