Abstract

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with programmed death receptor?1 (PD?1) inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of microsatellite?stabilized (MSS)?type or mismatch?matched repair?normal (pMMR)?type colorectal cancer with liver metastases (CCLM). Methods Case data of 25 patients with MSS?type CCLM admitted to Jiangsu Provincial Cancer Hospital from April 2021 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into observation group (n = 12) and control group (n = 13). The observation group was given radiotherapy combined with PD?1 inhibitor and TKI treatment, and the control group was given TKI monotherapy. The baseline data, treatment effect, progression?free survival, and treatment?related adverse reactions of patients in the two groups were compared. Results The difference in baseline data between the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), the disease control rate (DCR) of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), the progression?free survival (PFS) of the patients in the observation group was longer than that of the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), and the difference in the incidence of treatment?related adverse events (TRAE) between the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion The treatment regimen of radiotherapy combined with PD?1 inhibitors and TKI drugs improved clinical efficacy and did not increase the incidence of adverse events when compared with TKI alone, which is a treatment regimen worthy of further validation.
