Hello,
Has anyone had immunotherapy as a form of treatment for colon cancer?
I think my husband is MSI I'm not too sure as it was over 2 years ago he was diagnosed so I have forgotten. He had chemotherapy irinotecan, oxalaplatin and 5 fu this shrunk the cancer enough to have surgery he then had surgery and had 3 rounds of mop up chemo then cancer returned 3 months later that's when he was put on nivolumab he had it 8 times and it caused ulcerative colitis and had to be stopped but the 8 cycles he had got him to remission xx

I’ve heard of a drug called Retifanlimab which is now being used mainstream in the US and UK trials. A form of immunotherapy I believe. It’s had great results if you google it for colon/rectal
