Fig. 1From: A next-generation sequencing-based strategy combining microsatellite instability and tumor mutation burden for comprehensive molecular diagnosis of advanced colorectal cancerPatient Flow. Tissue samples were collected from 430 eligible CRC patients and subjected to genomic profiling using NGS. Of the 430 samples, 98 were also examined for MMR/MSI status using IHC and PCR. NGS MSI method was validated against IHC and PCR. The distribution of TMB between MSS and MSI-H tumors were also investigated using both the 98-patient cohort and the TCGA CRC cohortBack to article page
