Tumor-agnostic therapies represent a paradigm shift in oncology by altering the traditional means of characterizing tumors based on their origin or location. Instead, they zero specific genetic anomalies responsible for fueling malignant growth. The watershed moment tumor-agnostic arrived 2017, with US Food and Drug Administration's historic approval pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. This milestone marked marriage genomics immunology fields, as immunotherapeutic agent gained genomic biomarkers, specifically, microsatellite instability-high mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR).

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a frequent gastrointestinal malignancy with high rates of morbidity and mortality; 85% these tumours are proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)‐microsatellite instability‐low (MSI‐L)/microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC known as ‘cold’ that resistant to immunosuppressive drugs. Monotherapy programmed death 1 (PD‐1)/programmed ligand (PD‐L1) inhibitors ineffective for treating MSS CRC, making immunotherapy bottleneck. Recent studies have found the multi‐pathway regimens combined PD‐1/PD‐L1 can enhance efficacy anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 in by increasing number CD8+ T cells, upregulating PD‐L1 expression improving tumour microenvironment. This paper reviews research progress combination cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA‐4) inhibitors, oncolytic virus, intestinal flora, antiangiogenic agents, chemotherapy, radiotherapy epigenetic drugs treatment pMMR‐MSI‐L/MSS CRC.

Background Microsatellite stable colorectal liver metastases (MSS CLM) maintain an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Historically, immune-based approaches have been ineffective. VB-111 (ofranergene obadenovec) is a genetically-modified adenoviral vector targeting the TME; its unique dual mechanism induces immune response and disrupts neovascularization. Checkpoint inhibition may synergize induced by viral-mediated anti-angiogenic gene therapy. We aimed to examine safety antitumor activity of nivolumab in patients with refractory MSS CLM characterize immunological treatment-response. Methods This was phase II study adult histologically-confirmed who progressed on prior A priming dose 1×10 13 viral particles given intravenously 2 weeks starting biweekly 240 mg continued every 6 weeks.

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a biological condition associated with inflamed tumors, high tumor mutational burden (TMB), and responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors. In colorectal cancer (CRC), MSI tumors are found in 5% of patients the metastatic setting 15% early-stage disease. Following impressive clinical activity inhibitors setting, deep long-lasting responses, development has expanded Several phase II trials have demonstrated rate pathological complete some even spared from surgery. However, both settings, not all respond short, emphasizing importance ongoing search for accurate biomarkers. While various biomarkers response been evaluated context CRC, including B2M JAK1/2 mutations, TMB, WNT pathway Lynch syndrome, mixed results, liver metastases lack such strategies. To improve patient selection treatment outcomes, further research required identify additional refine existing ones.

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent globally. It’s recognized that molecular subtype of CRC, characterized by mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), plays a critical role in determining appropriate treatment strategies. This review examines current classifications, focusing on dMMR/MSI-H CRC and its subtypes: Lynch syndrome (LS), Lynch-like (LLS), sporadic cases. Despite advances understanding these genetic backgrounds, clinical trials have not conclusively differentiated efficacy immune checkpoint inhibitors among subgroups. Therefore, while this details characteristics their general implications for prognosis, it also highlights limitations need more refined studies to ascertain tailored therapeutic strategies each subtype. Furthermore, summarizes completed ongoing studies, emphasizing importance developing treatments aligned closely with profiles. By discussing aspects, seeks provide comprehensive analysis oncological characteristics, presenting detailed prognosis CRC.
