The Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO): Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, 2024 update
The 2024 updates of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Clinical Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer emphasize standardizing cancer treatment in China, highlighting the latest advancements in evidence-based medicine, healthcare resource access, and precision medicine in oncology. These updates address disparities in epidemiological trends, clinicopathological characteristics, tumor biology, treatment approaches, and drug selection for colorectal cancer patients across diverse regions and backgrounds. Key revisions include adjustments to evidence levels for intensive treatment strategies, updates to regimens for deficient mismatch repair (dMMR)/ microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) patients, proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/ microsatellite stability (MSS) patients who have failed standard therapies, and rectal cancer patients with low recurrence risk. Additionally, recommendations for digital rectal examination and DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE)/ DNA polymerase delta 1 (POLD1) gene mutation testing have been strengthened. The 2024 CSCO Guidelines are based on both Chinese and international clinical research, as well as expert consensus, ensuring their relevance and applicability in clinical practice, while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor, impartiality, and timely updates.
