PurposeTo evaluate the prognostic significance of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status in a large series of stage II and III colorectal cancer patients. The relationship among MMR status, adjuvant chemotherapy, and clinical outcome was also investigated.Patients and MethodsThe study included 718 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma (393 stage 11 and 325 stage 111) who underwent curative surgical resection. MMR status was determined by immunohistochemical analysis of MLH1 and MSH2 expression. Microsatellite instability (MSI) was assessed in 363 patients using mononucleotide and dinucleotide markers.ResultsOne hundred fourteen (15.9%) carcinomas showed abnormal MMR protein (MMRP) expression (96 MLH1 negative and 18 MSH2 negative) and were classified as MMRP negative, whereas 604 tumors demonstrated normal MLH1/MSH2 immunoreactivity (MMRP positive). MLH1/MSH2 expression was closely related to MSI status (P
