Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in the United States. Approximately 25% of patients are diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and the 5-year survival rate in mCRC is low at 14%. Primary treatment for mCRC is systemic therapy, which includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted agents. With advances in genomic profiling, we can now tailor treatment to unique patient populations and improve overall survival. In this review, we discuss treatment strategies for mCRC patients based on tumor sidedness, KRAS/BRAF wild-type versus mutant tumors, and review the benefit of immunotherapy in microsatellite unstable and mismatch repair deficient tumors.
