Abstract

natural killer cell infiltration and active 4-1BB/IFN-ɑ signaling, which could providing a favorable condition for cetuximab-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity effect, was present in a cohort with extended OS. In the TME, features of immune phenotype sidedness were identified, providing an implication for differential responses to bevacizumab/cetuximab treatment. In addition, a new avenue for innovative experimental design and combinational immunotherapy to treat CRC patients was suggested.
