Of those samples initially flagged as discordant, 50.9% remained discordant after being reviewed by an additional pathologist. This resulted in a final discordance rate of 0.31% (590/191,767). Among CRC, GE, SB and EC, 55.4% of mismatch repair proficient/MSI high (MMRp/MSI-H) tumors had at least one somatic pathogenic mutation in an MMR gene or <i>POLE</i>. Mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite stable (MMRd/MSS) tumors had a significantly lower rate of high tumor mutational burden than MMRp/MSI-H tumors. Across all solid tumors, MMRd/MSI-H tumors had significantly longer overall survival (OS; hazard ratio [HR], 1.47, <i>P</i> < .001) and post-ICI survival (HR, 1.82, <i>P</i> < .001) as compared with MMRp/MSS tumors. The OS for the MMRd/MSS group was slightly worse compared to the MMRp/MSI-H tumors, but this difference was not statistically significant (HR, 0.73, <i>P</i> = .058), with a similar pattern when looking at post-ICI survival (HR, 0.43, <i>P</i> = .155).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study demonstrates that NGS-MSI is noninferior to IHC-MMR and can identify MSI-H tumors that IHC-MMR is unable to detect and conversely IHC-MMR can identify MMRd tumors that NGS-MSI misses.</p>","PeriodicalId":14797,"journal":{"name":"JCO precision oncology","volume":"8 ","pages":"e2300648"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142681727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
