Abstract

Immunotherapeutic biomarkers play a crucial role in predicting treatment response and guiding the use of immunotherapies in CRC. Current immunotherapeutic biomarkers in CRC include: high microsatellite instability (MSI-H)/mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) status (7); programmed death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (16); tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (17) and immune gene signatures that provide information about the tumor’s immune environment and potential response to immunotherapy (18). Despite this repertoire of biomarkers, it is of great interest to incorporate new options that can be easily evaluated in patient blood samples. In this context, this study assessed the association between the CTLA4 c.-319C>T variant and CRC susceptibility, proposing its potential use as a biomarker for therapeutic response to anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibody immunotherapy.
