Description

The attendees will hear about the molecular characteristics of CRC, the microsatellite instability pathway of carcinogenesis, understand the role of MMR genes in DNA replication, the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome, and the histologic characteristics of microsatellite unstable tumors. The attendees will hear how the testing is done with details in the interpretation of four immunohistochemical stains used and pitfalls in the interpretation and solutions.
