Immunotheray Combined With Simvastatin and Target Therapy and Chemotharepy for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
Metastatic colorectal cancer with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) molecular phenotypes could significantly benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, ushering in the MSI era of immunotherapy for colorectal cancer. However, MSI-H/dMMR is present in only 15%-20% of stage II/III and 5% of stage IV colorectal cancer patients, while the vast majority of patients exhibit microsatellite stability (MSS) or proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) types, which are insensitive to immunotherapy. Therefore, how to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy in the pMMR/MSS population through combination therapy has become a hotspot and challenge in colorectal cancer research.
