Abstract

A number of assays are now available to estimate the prognosis of early-stage colorectal cancer, including multigene assays, the Immunoscore, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Although the results of these assays may provide prognostic information regarding the risk for recurrence, their use as a predictive assay has not yet been validated. Therefore, although these assays may be useful for prognostication, further validation would be required to include in the NCCN Guidelines. For the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, major advances have included the use of checkpoint inhibition in metastatic disease. Studies are currently underway to further define their optimal use.

Disclosures: Dr. Krishnamurthi has disclosed receiving grant/research support from Aravive, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, and Natera.
