Title:

473P - PLK1 expression and KRAS mutations in colorectal cancer

Published date:

Excerpt:
Among PLK1 expression groups, proportionate increases in dMMR/MSI-H, TMB, immune cell populations, and immune checkpoint gene expression suggest a potential response to immunotherapy in tumors with increased PLK1 expression. Combining immunotherapy with a PLK1 inhibitor might be a synergistic approach to increase sensitivity in PLK1-overexpressing CRC regardless of KRAS status.
