Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this open-label phase II study, patients will be scheduled for neoadjuvant treatment with PD-1 inhibitors (Camrelizumab) plus VEGF inhibitor (Apatinib) for dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer staged as locally advanced (cT3-4N+/-M0 for rectal cancer, cT4 or cT3 with extramural extension ≥5mm for colon cancer). Radiological evaluation will be preformed after 4 cycles of treatment. Patients (either with colon or rectal cancer) who achieve complete clinical response will be offered the choice of Watch \& Wait.
