Core Tip	Adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage Ⅱ colon cancer is still a subject of controversy. Stage Ⅱ tumors are highly heterogeneous, with five-year relative overall survival rates ranging from 58.4% to 87.5%. Recently reported European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines suggest that microsatellite instability (MSI) should be evaluated in stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer patients in order to contribute in treatment decision-making regarding chemotherapy administration. The current report critically evaluates the prognostic and predictive impact of MSI status in patients with stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ colon cancer.
