For non-metastatic patients but for those who are advanced and about to have surgery: colon cancer (T4 and/or N2); rectal cancer with positive lymph nodes and/or threatened/positive circumferential resection margin (CRM). It gives immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, Keytruda, PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) along with standard of care treatment, before the surgery. It might improve results/prevent recurrence.
