Abstract
The role of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in ovarian cancer (OC) pathogenesis and its association with other clinicopathologic features, such as microsatellite instability (MSI) and expression of checkpoint proteins, remain largely elusive. We performed Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 on full-section slides from 419 OCs to assess the MMR status. The clinical relevance of MMR deficiency was analyzed in combination with clinical data. The MSI status (by MSI assay) and expression of CD3, CD8, PD-1 and PD-L1 (by IHC) were compared in OCs with different MMR status. We found that 2.6% OCs were MMR-negative, 4.3% OCs were MMR-low, and 63.6% of MMR-negative OCs were of endometrioid subtype. A significantly higher proportion of MMR-negative OCs were diagnosed at stage I or II compared to MMR-proficient OCs (p=0.0041). MSI was observed in all tested MMR-negative OCs, 14.3% of tested MMR-low OCs and 3.2% of tested MMR-proficient OCs. In addition, MMR-negative OCs had better progression free survival compared to MMR-proficient and MMR-low OCs (p=0.0046). Furthermore, the majority of OCs were PD-1-positive in intratumoral lymphocytes regardless of MMR status; while MMR-negative OCs exhibited significantly increas...Continue Reading
