Low frequency of defective mismatch repair in a population-based series of upper urothelial carcinoma

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

This population-based series indicates that somatic MMR inactivation is a minor pathway in the development of UUC, but tumors that display defective MMR are, based on the immunohistochemical expression pattern, likely to be associated with HNPCC.
