Pseudo progression in heterogeneity of right-sided metastatic colon carcinoma during nivolumab therapy: A case report

We present a patient who received nivolumab for heterogeneity of right-sided metastatic colon carcinoma. Intervention: The patient was treated with nivolumab combined with chemotherapy. Outcome: The computed tomography showed mass lesion in the left lobe of liver remained stable while metastasis tumors under envelop of liver were exacerbated after 6 cycles of nivolumab combined with chemotherapy, and later regressed. Lessons: The status of mismatch repair in primary tumor and metastatic liver carcinoma is contradictory but using nivolumab demonstrated encouraging efficacy. This is the first case of pseudo progression undergoing immunotherapy for heterogeneity of right-sided metastatic colon carcinoma.
