Abstract

BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is one of the essential tumor biomarkers for cancer treatment and prognosis. The presence of more significant PD-L1 expression on the surface of tumor cells in endometrial cancer with MSI suggests that MSI may be a promising biomarker for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. However, the conventional testing methods are labor-intensive and expensive for patients.
