Immunotherapy regimens for metastatic colorectal carcinomas
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality with a 5-year overall survival rate of 13%. Despite recent advances in cancer immunotherapy, only the minority of CRC patients (<15%) with microsatellite instability can potentially benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors, the only immunotherapy currently approved for mCRC. In that context, there is an unmet ne...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Colorectal Cancer
The recent success of anti-PD1 drugs in metastatic colorectal cancer patients with mismatch repair deficiency generated overwhelming enthusiasm for immunotherapy in the disease. However, patients with mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer represent only a small subset of the metastatic population. Current research focuses on advancing immunotherapy to earlier stages of the disease includi...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for colorectal cancer
Immunotherapy for colorectal cancer has been under investigation for many years. Many recent scientific advances contribute to the success of cancer immunotherapy, including our better understanding of anti-tumor immune response, tolerance and regulation, and the advent of newer therapies including agonist antibodies to the co-stimulatory molecules targeting T cells. Immunotherapy may represent...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND Advances in molecular biology have enabled specific antigens present on colorectal cells to be characterized, against which immune responses may be generated. This, in combination with our inability to significantly alter survival from this condition, has resurrected an interest in immunotherapy as a potential treatment option. DATA SOURCES The information contained in this review ...
متن کاملTrastuzumab-containing regimens for metastatic breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Patients with breast cancer are classified as having cells that over-express the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (known as HER2-positive) or not (HER2-negative). Typically, patients with HER2-positive disease have a worse prognosis. Trastuzumab is a selective treatment that targets the HER2 pathway. The available evidence supporting trastuzumab regimens mostly relies upon su...
