ABOUT THE PROJECT
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies have transformed clinical cancer care, particularly in tumours with mismatch repair deficiency. However, there is wide inter-individual variability in response, limiting its application in clinical practice. Preliminary results suggest that quantification of the level of microsatellite instability (MSI) may account for response variability in MMR-deficient tumours.
The main aim of the project is to assess the usefulness of MSI intensity assessment as a pan-cancer biomarker to predict and monitor ICI treatment response in patients with MSI tumours.
