Abstract

T cells and reactivates tumor immune monitoring, which may stimulate or enhance PD-1-based antitumor immunotherapy. Our findings provide direct evidence that NIFE is a promising clinical therapy to treat patients with advanced CRC by affecting the tumor itself and tumor immunity. NIFE may be a promising therapeutic option to enhance effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade therapy in CRC.
