Mismatch repair genes are responsible for discovering and repairing base mismatches during DNA replication in cells. Defects in mismatch repair function will lead to accumulation of gene mutations, microsatellite instability, and ultimately tumorigenesis. Mismatch repair genes are closely related to the biological behavior, patient prognosis, and related treatments of endometrial cancer. This article reviews the research progress of mismatch repair defect (dMMR) in the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer.
