Rare MSI-H hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the colon with BRAF V600E mutation achieving long-term disease-free survival after adjuvant envafolimab: a case report
This case illustrates that adjuvant PD-1 blockade can be effective and well-tolerated in elderly patients with rare MSI-H CRC subtypes, including BRAF-mutated HAC. Comprehensive molecular profiling can help guide personalized immunotherapy decisions. Further studies are needed to confirm long-term benefits, optimize treatment duration and dosing, and identify predictive biomarkers for high-risk CRC.
