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.
期刊介绍:
Med is a flagship medical journal published monthly by Cell Press, the global publisher of trusted and authoritative science journals including Cell, Cancer Cell, and Cell Reports Medicine. Our mission is to advance clinical research and practice by providing a communication forum for the publication of clinical trial results, innovative observations from longitudinal cohorts, and pioneering discoveries about disease mechanisms. The journal also encourages thought-leadership discussions among biomedical researchers, physicians, and other health scientists and stakeholders. Our goal is to improve health worldwide sustainably and ethically.
Med publishes rigorously vetted original research and cutting-edge review and perspective articles on critical health issues globally and regionally. Our research section covers clinical case reports, first-in-human studies, large-scale clinical trials, population-based studies, as well as translational research work with the potential to change the course of medical research and improve clinical practice.
