Key topics discussed included:

• The evolving role of ctDNA as both a prognostic and predictive tool in stage two and three colon cancer, including its utility in oligometastatic disease surveillance.
• Neoadjuvant versus adjuvant immunotherapy in MSI-high resectable colon cancer, comparing the NICHE-2 and ATOMIC trial approaches and when to use each.
• Single-agent versus dual checkpoint inhibition with Nivo-Ipi for MSI-high metastatic disease, based on CHECKMATE-8HW data showing a PFS hazard ratio of 0.21.
• Sequencing strategies in RAS-mutant and RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer, including the role of sidedness, anti-EGFR therapy, and refractory options like fruquintinib, TAS-102, and regorafenib.
