Cover Story: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a well-characterized “cold” tumor, defined by a low immune response. This immunologically “cold” nature limits immune cell infiltration and contributes to the tumor’s resistance to checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapies. Signature gene mutations, including mismatch repair (MMR) genes, KRAS, BRAF, APC, and TP53, restructure the tumor microenvironment (TME) and promote immunosuppressive conditions. However, these mutations can also give rise to neoantigens capable of provoking immune responses, thereby offering potential targets for immunotherapeutic strategies such as cancer vaccines. Cancer vaccines exploit the strong neoantigenic potential of these mutations and are thus regarded as a promising approach to overcome immune resistance and stimulate anti-tumor immunity.
