Alterations in microsatellite sequences within human DNA, either in the form of
microsatellite instability or allelic imbalances involving specific chromosome regions, are
commonly found in cells from colorectal cancers. Halling et al. (p. 1295)
sought to determine whether the presence or absence of such genetic alterations could allow
clinicians to separate patients with Astler-Coller stage B2 or C colorectal cancer into groups with
favorable or unfavorable prognoses. The researchers examined fixed sections from 508 tumors
obtained from 2887 patients participating in any of seven clinical trials
