Pathological Complete Response Following Neoadjuvant Tislelizumab Monotherapy in Treatment-Naive Locally Advanced, MMR-Deficient/MSI-High Ascending Colon Cancer: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Although recent trials started the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy (NIT) in instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) early-stage or locally advanced colorectal cancer (LACRC), little data on the treatment strategy of NIT has been shown, and whether the tirelizumab mono-immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) can be used as NIT for patients with LACRC has not been reported as yet. In this study we report on a locally advanced ascending colon cancer case with a history of incomplete intestinal obstruction which achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR) after treated with Tirelizumab as NIT. A 32-year-old man was diagnosed with locally advanced ascending colon cancer with MSI-H and dMMR. An incomplete intestinal obstruction accompanied with hyperpyrexia occurred unexpectedl
