NT5E promotes colorectal cancer progression and correlates with PD-L1 expression: evidence from multi-omics analysis, clinical samples, and cellular functional assays. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
NT5E accelerates disease progression by promoting malignant biological behaviors in colorectal cancer and synergistically shaping an immunosuppressive microenvironment with PD-L1. Its overexpression constitutes an independent adverse prognostic factor. This discovery offers novel insights for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 combination immunotherapy.

Anti-Hu-Associated Paraneoplastic Myeloneuropathy as the Initial Presentation of Early-Onset Colon Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, ACG Case Rep J)
Postoperative circulating tumor DNA was negative, and the patient was placed on active surveillance; however, neurological symptoms persisted, and immunomodulatory therapy access was initially limited. This case highlights a rare association between anti-Hu-associated myeloneuropathy and early-onset colon cancer and underscores the importance of malignancy evaluation in unexplained sensory neuronopathy.

Neoadjuvant toripalimab plus celecoxib versus toripalimab monotherapy for mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high, locally advanced colorectal cancer (PICC-2): an open-label, multicentre, randomised, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Oncol)
In patients with dMMR or MSI-H locally advanced colorectal cancer, neoadjuvant toripalimab plus celecoxib significantly increased the proportion of patients attaining pathological complete response compared with toripalimab monotherapy, with a similar safety profile. These findings support further investigation of this combination strategy in larger phase 3 trials.

Spatial immune archetypes in gastric and colorectal cancer: a proposed conceptual framework for immunotherapy resistance and therapeutic remodeling. (PubMed, Front Immunol)

By elucidating the molecular circuits and environmental dependencies underlying these spatially encoded resistance programs, we articulate a translational imperative: archetype-guided spatial biomarkers and targeted microenvironment-remodeling strategies provide the most viable framework to extend durable immunotherapeutic benefit to the historically refractory MSS/pMMR gastrointestinal cancer population.

Relationship between MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 protein expression status and clinicopathological characteristics in colorectal cancer tissues. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
These findings support the value of routine IHC-based MMR testing in CRC patients. However, confirmatory molecular testing (e.g., MSI analysis, BRAF V600E mutation, MLH1 promoter methylation, or germline sequencing) is necessary to differentiate sporadic from Lynch syndrome-associated dMMR cases and to fully guide Lynch syndrome screening and immunotherapy decisions.

MSI testing by MSI PCR, however, showed a microsatellite stable result. This highlights how MSI PCR may not be sufficiently sensitive in detecting MSI-H status in tumour types outside of colorectal carcinomas.
