Episode 114: ASCO - 2024 Early Colorectal Cancer

ASCO 2024 never seems to end, and today, Michael and Josh do a bit of a backflip and report on the advancements in early colorectal cancer. Forever a confusing topic with PRODIGE23, OPRA, and many other rectal cancer trials and a spattering of neoadjuvant colorectal trials, the ability to redefine and provide clarity to this area is pertinent. Today, it heavily focuses on immunotherapy in the colon space with sintilimab and IBI310 battling it out with the old master pembrolizumab. The rectal contingent is the TNTCRT trial, looking at total neoadjuvant therapy vs concurrent chemoradiotherapy. While the world may have moved forward, this trial could provide further evidence of the path we should be taking.
