Colorectal Cancer Immunotherapy: Options and Strategies

Abstract: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world with increasing incidence and mortality rates globally. Standard treatments for colorectal cancer have always been surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy which may be used in combination to treat patients. However, these treatments have many side effects due to their non-specificity and cytotoxicity toward any cells including normal cells that are growing and dividing. Furthermore, many patients succumb to relapse even after a series of treatments.… Show more

“…Although overall mortality rates continue to decline due to improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the survival rate for advanced disease remains low and approximately 50% of patients relapse even after additional treatment with neoadjuvant therapy (Ogura et al, 2019). Cancer immunotherapy is a new alternative for cancer treatment that overcomes the non-specific problems associated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy (Johdi and Sukor, 2020). Hence, it is important to find a suitable immunity-related prognostic biomarker for CRC and to identify patients who can benefit from anti-tumor immunotherapy.…”

“…The standard methods for CRC treatment are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. These treatments can be combined, depending on the location and progression of the cancer (Johdi and Sukor, 2020). For example, approximately 66-61% of stage II and stage III patients with colon and rectal cancer undergo further treatments with adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, respectively (Miller et al, 2019).…”

“…Unfortunately, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are characterized by low specificity and significant systemic cytotoxicity as well as by unsatisfying recurrence rates. Therefore, research has been directed to better knowing CRC immunogenic potential and the development of targeted therapy[ 45 ].…”

“…Colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and has incidence and mortality rates globally (119,120). ART was found to inhibit CRC proliferation and promote apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner to significantly suppress the growth of colorectal tumors, decrease the physiological activity of cancer and delay spontaneous liver metastasis in the CLY CRC cell line.…”
