Abstract
In patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, microsatellite instability was associated with a greater symptom burden, and high levels of CpG island methylator subtype were associated with greater pain. The role of microsatellite instability–associated tumor features, including histologic and immune features in potentially increasing the symptom burden in metastatic colorectal cancer warrants further investigation.
