First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests giving an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) before surgery to people with a specific type of colon cancer (dMMR). The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or eliminate the tumor so some patients may avoid surgery and instead be closely monitored. About 152 adults with stage I to III dMMR colon cancer will join this phase 2 trial across 13 hospitals in Denmark.
