Abstract

Current standard-of-care for metastatic colorectal cancer patients includes chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic or anti-epidermal growth factor receptor for microsatellite stable tumors and pembrolizumab for microsatellite instable tumors. However, despite the available therapies, the prognosis remains poor. In recent years, new drugs combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors have been tested in microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer patients, but the benefit was modest. Here, we review the metabolic interactions between the immune microenvironment and cancer cells. More specifically, we highlight potential correlatives of tumor immune and metabolic features with transcriptomic classifications such as the Consensus Molecular Subtype. Finally, we discuss the unmet need of immune-metabolic signatures and the value of a new signature (IMMETCOLS) for guiding new strategies in metastatic colorectal cancer. We conclude that the field is ready to propose customized strategies for modifying metabolism and improving immunotherapy and targeted therapy efficacy.
