flag New study finds atezolizumab with chemo cuts colon cancer recurrence by half in certain patients.

flag New research shows that adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to chemotherapy after surgery for stage 3 colon cancer with deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and death by 50% compared to chemotherapy alone. flag The phase 3 ATOMIC trial, which included 712 patients, demonstrated a 3-year disease-free survival rate of 86.4% for the combination treatment versus 76.6% for chemotherapy alone. flag Researchers plan to recommend this combination as a new standard treatment for certain colon cancer patients.
