- Oncology
- Gastroenterology
- Immunotherapy
Background:
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) status exhibits distinct molecular characteristics.
- Neoadjuvant therapy aims to reduce tumor burden before surgery, improving outcomes.
- Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that has shown efficacy in various cancers.
