Title:

Case report: Complete response to pembrolizumab in a liver metastatic colon adenocarcinoma patient with a novel likely pathogenic germline MSH2 mutation

Published date:
11/28/2022
Excerpt:
A 43-year-old Chinese male patient underwent radical surgery and was pathologically confirmed to have stage IIIB colon adenocarcinoma….Subsequently, the patient accepted pembrolizumab as the first-line systemic therapy after liver metastases. He achieved clinical complete response (cCR) within 2 months and remained progression-free for more than 2 years. The case report showed that MSH2 mutation (c.489_494deTGGGTA) is a likely pathogenic mutation, and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) is effective for this patient.
