  • 3-150 = markers recommended by NCI for MSI analysis.16+ = Unstable. − = Stable. NT = not tested/not conclusive. H = MSI high according to NCI recommendations.16 L = MSI low according to NCI recommendations.16 S = MSI stable according to NCI recommendations.16 C = colon tumour. U = urinary tract tumour. E = endometrial tumour. O = ovarian tumour. R = rectal tumour. P = polyp. B = breast tumour.

  • Immunohistochemistry: +++ = strong staining, ++ = moderate staining, + = weak staining, − = no staining.
