Abstract

Most colorectal cancers are microsatellite-stable with no response to anti-PD-1 therapy, necessitating the development of new immunomodulatory treatment strategies. Coinhibition of anti-PD-1 and STAT3 can elicit an effective antitumor response in a small subset of patients with microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer, and biomarkers predictive of response are under investigation.<i>See related article by Kawazoe et al., p. 5887</i>.
