RESUMEN
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency and the associated microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype has become a subject of enormous interest in recent years due to the demonstrated efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in advanced tumours. Assessing MSI in patients with gastrointestinal tract (GI) cancers is useful to exclude Lynch syndrome, but also to predict benefit for ICI. Following review of the relevant literature, this review article aims to outline the clinicopathologic spectrum of MSI and mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) in the GI tract, hepatobiliary system and pancreas and discuss the therapeutic consideration in this disease.
