Summary
This study tests whether two immunotherapy drugs, cemiplimab and fianlimab, can eliminate tumors in older patients (70+) or those unfit for surgery with a specific genetic type of colorectal cancer (MSI-H). Participants receive the drugs and are monitored with scans and scopes to see if the cancer disappears without needing an operation. The goal is to find a safer, effective alternative to surgery for this vulnerable group.
