Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most common type of cancer in developed countries and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Personalized management of CRC has gained increasing attention since there are large inter-individual variations in the prognosis and response to drugs used to treat CRC owing to molecular heterogeneity. Approximately 15% of CRCs are caused by deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) characterized by microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype. The present review is aimed at highlighting the role of MMR status in informing prognosis and personalized treatment of CRC including adjuvant chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy to guide the individualized therapy of CRC.
结直肠癌(CRC)是发达国家中第三大常见癌症类型,也是全球癌症死亡的主要原因之一。由于分子异质性,用于治疗CRC的药物的预后和反应存在较大个体差异,因此CRC的个性化管理受到越来越多的关注。大约15%的CRC是由错配修复缺陷(dMMR)引起的,其特征为微卫星不稳定性(MSI)表型。本综述旨在强调错配修复状态在告知CRC预后和个性化治疗中的作用,包括辅助化疗、靶向治疗和免疫检查点抑制剂治疗,以指导CRC的个体化治疗。
