Project description:Simple Summary There are some challenges to improve the clinical outcome of colorectal cancers (CRCs) by implementing new technologies, such as early detection of recurrence/relapse and selection of appropriate drugs based on the genomic profiles of tumors. For example, the genomic characteristics of tumors can be analyzed by blood-based tests, namely ‘liquid biopsies’, which are minimally-invasive and can be performed repeatedly during the treatment course. Hence, liquid biopsies are considered to hold great promise to fill these gaps in clinical routines. In this review, we addressed clinical usefulness of liquid biopsies in the clinical management of CRC patients, including cancer screening, detection of minimal residual disease, selection of appropriate molecular-targeted drugs, monitoring of the treatment responsiveness, and very early detection of recurrence/relapse of the disease. Furthermore, we discussed the possibility of adoptive T cell therapies and a future personalized immunotherapy based on tumor genome information. Abstract In the field of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, diagnostic modalities and chemotherapy regimens have progressed remarkably in the last two decades. However, it is still difficult to identify minimal residual disease (MRD) necessary for early detection of recurrence/relapse of tumors and to select and provide appropriate drugs timely before a tumor becomes multi-drug-resistant and more aggressive. We consider the leveraging of in-depth genomic profiles of tumors as a significant breakthrough to further improve the overall prognosis of CRC patients. With the recent technological advances in methodologies and bioinformatics, the genomic profiles can be analyzed profoundly without delay by blood-based tests—‘liquid biopsies’. From a clinical point of view, a minimally-invasive liquid biopsy is thought to be a promising method and can be implemented in routine clinical settings in order to meet unmet clinical needs. In this review, we highlighted clinical usefulness of liquid biopsies in the clinical management of CRC patients, including cancer screening, detection of MRD, selection of appropriate molecular-targeted drugs, monitoring of the treatment responsiveness, and very early detection of recurrence/relapse of the disease. In addition, we addressed a possibility of adoptive T cell therapies and a future personalized immunotherapy based on tumor genome information.
