ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor is effective for colorectal cancer (CRC) with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). We aimed to explore its effects on CRCs and colonic polyps in Lynch syndrome (LS) patients.METHODS:
LS patients with CRC who had evaluable tumours and received at least 2 cycles of PD-1 inhibitors were retrospectively included. PD-1 inhibitors were given as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies, including anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Correlations of treatment responses with clinicopathological characteristics and genomic profiles were analysed.RESULTS:
A total of 75 LS patients were included, with a median age of 39 years. The median duration of follow-up was 27 months (range, 3-71). The objective response rate (ORR) was 70.7%, including 28.0% (n = 21) complete responses and 42.7% (n = 32) partial responses. Four of five cases of LS CRCs displaying proficient MMR (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS) were not responsive. Mucinous/signet-ring cell differentiation was associated with a lower ORR (P = 0.013). The 3-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 91.2% and 82.2%, respectively. A polyp was detected in 26 patients during surveillance. Seven adenomas disappeared after treatment, and they were all larger than 7 mm.CONCLUSION:
PD-1 inhibitors are highly effective for dMMR and MSI-H LS CRCs, but not for pMMR or MSS LS CRCs or mucinous/signet-ring cell CRC. Large LS adenomas may also be eliminated by anti-PD-1 treatment.
