Tirellizumab+Anlotinib VS Anlotinib for MSS-type CRC

This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study to compare the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor（TKI） combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs) versus tyrosine kinase inhibitor alone in the treatment of advanced MSS colorectal cancer. Patients with MSS CRC who have been confirmed by pathology and have relapsed or failed multiline therapy were included in the study. Patients who had received tirellizumab plus anlotinib were considered the combination group, and those treated with anlotinib were classified as the monotherapy group. The efficacy and safety of the two regimens were compared. At the same time, Whole-exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing were performed on the patients in the response and non-response groups of the combination group to reveal the characteristics of their microenvironment and search for biomarkers related to response.
