| Abstract | Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a hallmark of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), but also occurs in about 12%-15% of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) where it is a consequence of an epigenetic inactivation of MLH1. High frequency MSI (MSI-H; i.e. at least two of five specified microsatellite markers show instability) was shown in a large meta-analysis and in recent trials to be a positive prognostic marker for overall survival in CRC. MSI-H or mismatch repair deficiency (MMRD) was also shown to be a marker for ineffectiveness of adjuvant 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) based chemotherapy in CRC. At present, there are no guidelines defining the need for microsatellite analysis before chemotherapy. However, studies published to date provide data suggesting that MSI-H CRC patients should not receive adjuvant chemotherapy, with the exception of patients with other factors or poor prognosis (e.g. T4 tumors, G3/G4 status, blood or lymphatic vessel invasion). MSI or MMRD testing can contribute to a more individualized therapy of CRC and should be performed prior to planned 5-FU monotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy in a non-metastatic setting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
