Program 3: Cancers with Microsatellites Instability (MSI)

Cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI)

Coordinated by Pr. Alex Duval

Cancers with instability of DNA microsatellite repeat sequences (MSI) constitute a family of frequent tumors, associated with numerous localizations (colon, stomach, endometrium, pancreas, prostate, lung, breast, ovary, brain, etc.). The main objectives of this program, dedicated to MSI cancers of all locations, are:

  • Understand the processes that underlie MSI tumor initiation and progression and shape the microenvironment of these cancers.
  • To develop new diagnostic tools and therapeutic regimens adapted to their modern management by precision medicine in full emergence (immunotherapy, inhibitors of immune checkpoints).
