Personalized Adjuvant Treatment of Colon Cancer.


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colon cancer (CC) is one of the most frequent malignant diseases. Adjuvant chemotherapy is of utmost importance in the management of localized disease. With the emergence of precision medicine, treatment approaches are becoming increasingly personalized and complex. This review contributes to a broader understanding of the role and relevance of personalized adjuvant treatment strategies in colon carcinoma, and summarizes the current status in this disease entity.

Methods

We searched the websites ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and ASCO (American Society of Medical Oncology) Meeting Library for clinical trials and retrospective analyses in the field of adjuvant treatment of CC with special attention to personalized approaches.

Results

Various factors, including gender, age, sidedness, stage, dMMR/MSI-H, mutations, molecular profile, CMS, immunoscore, minimal residual disease, type of adjuvant therapy, therapy duration, and the patient's wish play an important role in the adjuvant setting of CC and should be considered in treatment decision making.

Conclusion

Future molecular profiling ideally assessed and monitored by liquid biopsy might personalize decision making even more in the adjuvant setting of CC patients. Further research and clinical trials are needed to clarify relevant questions and to highlight important clinical aspects.
