A panel of medical oncologists introduce themselves and provide an overview of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and how it relates to MRD (minimal residual disease) testing in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Investigators of the AMPLIFY-201 trial hypothesized that ELI-002 2P may induce the expansion of functional tumor-directed KRAS-mutated specific T cells following tumor resection.

Results from part 3 of the phase 2a CORIST trial found that combining SCO-101 with chemotherapy improved the progression-free survival and clinical benefit rate in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Results from the randomized LASRE trial support the use of laparoscopic-assisted surgery for patients with low rectal cancer.

Liver contrast-enhanced MRI resulted in a change in the local treatment plan for approximately a third of patients with colorectal liver metastases in the CAMINO study.

Adjuvant chemotherapy does not yield an improvement in ctDNA clearance compared with observation among patients with stage II colon cancer in the phase 2/3 COBRA trial.

Disease-free survival benefits with chemotherapy appears to be more prominent in patients with colorectal cancer who are minimal residual disease–positive compared with those minimal residual disease–negative disease.

Neoadjuvant botensilimab plus balstilimab appears to be safe and effective in patients with colorectal cancer regardless of mismatch repair status in the phase 2 NEST-1 trial.

Real-world data suggest a role for noncytotoxic chemotherapy treatments such as EGFR inhibitors beyond the frontline setting for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Results from the phase 3 CheckMate-8HW trial highlight that the safety of frontline nivolumab plus ipilimumab in microsatellite instability–high or mismatch repair deficient is comparable with prior reports.

Real-world data may elucidate the characteristics and factors that influence long-term remission with regorafenib among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Findings from the phase 3 FRESCO-2 trial support fruquintinib’s potential to provide an improved survival benefit and quality of life for those with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer.

The DeFianCe trial is using DKN-01 plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy to determine if a clinical benefit would occur in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Data demonstrate efficacy of robotic surgery for colectomies, which is swiftly becoming the 'preferred approach' for surgeons.

Kristen K. Ciombor, MD, MSCI, gives an overview of the current treatment landscape for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

The safety profile of the phase 3 RELATIVITY-123 trial is not the cause of the discontinuation, as safety is consistent with prior trials assessing the combination.
