Abstract:

About 4% to 8% of patients with metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) harbor deficient Mismatch Repair proteins (dMMR) and/or high Microsatellite Instability (MSI-H). We present the case of a patient with somatic dMMR (loss of MLH1 and PMS2), MSI-Hand BRAF V-600E mutated metastatic right-sided colon cancer treated with an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI), who had radiological signs of Hyperprogressive Disease (HPD) with also an increase in tumour marker levels, followed by a Complete Remission (CR).

Keywords:

Colorectal cancer; Hyperprogression; Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy; Microsatellite instability; Pseudoprogression
