Tim G. Larson, MD, Minnesota Oncology discusses the development of immunotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Immunotherapies have seen success in patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) CRC even though this only includes a small percentage of patients, states Larson. Patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC have not seen the same results but this is under current investigation since they make up 95% of the patient population.

Unique combinations or molecules might show some signs of progress for these patients, explains Larson.
