Scope and Contents
Contents
Colorectal cancer is genetically heterogeneous. Tumors in some patients have defects in mismatch DNA repair. These tumors have a high level of mutations that can lead to immune recognition. In a group of patients with microsatellite-unstable tumors, pembrolizumab led to longer progression-free survival and was less toxic than standard chemotherapy.
