Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Microsatellite-stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) generally responds poorly to immune checkpoint blockade, but some MSS tumors are T-cell rich. We examined whether such infiltration reflected effective immunity or functional immune constraint. CASE REPORT: A 77-year-old woman underwent resection of a mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR), MSS, low-mutational-burden CRC with a synchronous adenoma....
