PURPOSE: Many studies have demonstrated that sporadic microsatellite instability-positive colorectal cancers share several clinicopathologic features with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers, including right-sided location, young age of onset, characteristic histomorphologic features, and a good prognosis. The aim of this study was to define distinct clinicopathologic features of sporadic microsatellite instability-positive colorectal cancers and to compare genotypic characteristics between microsatellite instability-positive and microsatellite instability-negative colorectal cancers in a young group. METHODS: We analyzed 61 cases of young patients (
