Dr Stadler presents results at the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting that show people whose tumours have high micro satellite instability (MSI-H) are more likely to have the hereditary condition Lynch syndrome.
She describes how inherited mutations in Lynch syndrome-associated genes were found in 16% of people with MSI-H tumors, compared to 1.9% of those with MSI-I tumors and only 0.3% of those with MSS tumors.
