Clinicopathologic features of gastric cancer with synchronous and metachronous colorectal cancer in Korea: are microsatellite instability and p53 overexpression useful markers for predicting colorectal cancer in gastric cancer patients?

GC patients who are male and/or ≥63 years old are recommended to receive colonoscopy to detect CRC. MSI and p53 overexpression were not useful molecular markers for predicting CRC in GC.
