Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Molecular biology advances allow characterization of specific colorectal cancer antigens.
  • Limited improvements in survival rates have renewed interest in immunotherapy for colorectal cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current immunotherapeutic options for colorectal cancer.
  • To inform clinicians about emerging treatments in this field.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of MEDLINE and BIDS databases.
  • Keywords included: immunotherapy, colorectal cancer, antibody, anti-idiotype, peptide vaccine, viral vector, vaccine.
  • Journals in the field were also systematically searched.

Main Results:

  • Several immunotherapeutic approaches are available for colorectal cancer.
  • Multiple treatment modalities are progressing through Phase III clinical trials.

Conclusions:

  • While not all treatments will succeed, immunotherapy represents a rapidly advancing field for colorectal cancer.
  • Clinicians, particularly surgeons, should stay informed about these developments and remain open to their potential efficacy.
