Microsatellite instable tumors often respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), however, tumor tissue is unavailable/insufficient in some patients. Two groups are reporting a blood-based assessment of the microsatellite status validated in tumor tissue and by clinical benefit in patient receiving ICB. Both approaches are highly appealing with a few caveats.
