Microsatellite instability and sex-specific differences of survival in gastric cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy without and with taxane: An observational study in real world patients
Abstract:Purpose
To investigate the prognostic role of microsatellite instability (MSI) in association with sex of patients treated with platinum/fluoropyrimidine neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CTx) with or without a taxane-containing compound.
