Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with deficient microsatellite mismatch repair (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC) may respond to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), whereas patients with microsatellite-stable (MSS) CRC have not demonstrated response. However, a proportion of MSS tumors display histomorphologic features characteristic of dMMR tumors consistent with an increased antigenicity. Therefore, a subset of patients with...
