Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of employing both PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors in the treatment of cancer, with a specific emphasis on colorectal cancer (CRC). Approaches: A methodical search of internet databases was performed to discover pertinent studies. The eligible studies included those that examined the management for those had colorectal cancer with the combined medications. Afterwards, the pertinent indicators were computed. Results: Eight publications were included in the study, and they provided data on the objective response rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival rate, and overall survival rate. The reported rates were 64.6%, 82.68%, 64.60%, and 73.11%, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this investigation suggest that using both PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors together is of great development potential when treating CRC with mismatch repair errors. Additionally, the treatment-related side effects are manageable.
