Title: COX inhibition with anti-PD-1 in advanced dMMR colorectal cancer: Improving antigen presentation?
Abstract: dMMR tumors, which have high tumor mutational and neoantigen burdens, are highly responsive to immune checkpoint blockade. Wu et al.1 showed that combining COX inhibitors with PD-1 blockade could be a safe and effective treatment option for dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer. The study highlights the potential of this combination therapy in achieving deep and long-lasting responses in dMMR colorectal cancers. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
