Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum: A genomic analysis

Abstract

Mucinous CRC has some distinct genomic aberrations when compared with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma, many of which are driven by the increased frequency of MSI-H tumors. These genomic aberrations may play an important part in the difference seen in response to treatment and prognosis in mucinous adenocarcinoma.
