    Hi

    Is this the immune Therapy that you have to have the special gene that your taking? How are the side effects?

    Immune therapy & gene mutations/defects

    Dennis

    The immune therapy you think of are the PD-1 inhibitors, like Keytuda & Opdivo, I think. They can work on metastatic CRC if they have the genetic defects called MSI-H and dMMR. I just found that mine don't have that, so I will look at other possibilities.

    Best wished, BG
