Abstract

The activity of TMZ in patients with mCRC is modest, but restricted to those with MSS status and MGMT silencing (negative IHC + MGMT methylation). In this hyperselected population, acquired resistance to TMZ is linked to emergence of mutations in mismatch repair genes and hypermutation. Thus, TMZ may be used as priming agent for immune-sensitization of MSS CRCs.
