What is MSI PCR?

Microsatellite Instability (MSI) PCR is a test that checks for changes in specific repetitive DNA sequences called microsatellites. These changes can indicate a defect in the DNA mismatch repair system, which is important for correcting errors during DNA replication.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial in identifying certain types of cancers, particularly colorectal cancer, that may respond differently to specific treatments. It helps guide treatment decisions and predict prognosis, especially for patients considering immunotherapy.

How to Prepare

Specific tissue sample collection procedures will be advised by your healthcare provider.
