About this episode
The episode explores the role of CTDNA in stage two colorectal cancer and neoadjuvant immunotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer.
The DYNAMIC duo are back, with Michael climbing the "Everest" of oncology and exploring the role of CTDNA in stage two colorectal cancer. Josh has the easier job of exploring neoadjuvant immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in dMMR advanced colorectal cancer. Both are excellent trials, and a worthy addition to your reading list.
