Abstract


Accumulating evidences suggest that immune checkpoints (ICs) inhibit immune response against cancerous cells and promote tumor cell survival. Up-regulation of ICs in tumor microenvironment is reported in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Thus, evaluating the peripheral blood expression of ICs may be used as non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of CRC.
