Over the past few years, the role of immunotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) has expanded, specifically in subsets of CRC with microsatellite instability (MSI) for which newer agents, such as programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, are efficacious. While other immunotherapeutic agents are more immature in development, they have the potential to enhance the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors and play a role in the treatment algorithm for all subsets of CRC patients. In this review, we will discuss immunotherapeutic agents in development in patients with CRC. We will review the later phase studies that elucidate the role of immunotherapy in CRC and provide hope for changing the treatment paradigm for CRC in the future.
在过去几年中,免疫疗法在结直肠癌(CRC)中的作用不断扩大,特别是在微卫星不稳定(MSI)的CRC亚组中,针对这类患者,新型药物如程序性死亡-1(PD-1)抑制剂具有疗效。虽然其他免疫治疗药物尚处于更不成熟的研发阶段,但它们有可能提高PD-1抑制剂的疗效,并在所有CRC患者亚组的治疗方案中发挥作用。在本综述中,我们将讨论正在研发中的用于CRC患者的免疫治疗药物。我们将回顾阐明免疫疗法在CRC中的作用的后期研究,并为未来改变CRC的治疗模式带来希望。
