The degree of microsatellite instability predicts response to PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high colorectal cancers

Abstract The development of programmed cell death-1 inhibitor (PD-1) has shed light on the treatment of tumors with deficiencies in DNA mismatch repair system or microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI). However, predicting the subset in this group that will benefit from PD-1 blockade remains a challen...
