“…This subgroup also exhibited a high expression of T-cell activation and chemotaxis markers, such as IFN-γ, IL-15, CXCL9, and CXCL10 as well as of PDCD1 [PD-1], CTLA-4, and LAG3. The MSI-enriched subgroup has the best prognosis (Budinska et al, 2013;De Sousa E Melo et al, 2013;Dienstmann et al, 2014;Marisa et al, 2013;Roepman et al, 2014;Sadanandam et al, 2013;Schlicker et al, 2012), is highly infiltrated with CD8 + T cells expressing PD-1 as an activation marker (Llosa et al, 2015), and encompasses the few CRC patients who responded to anti-PD-1 therapies (Le et al, 2015). Another molecularly defined subgroup also exhibited a strong immune signature.…”
