TL;DR

This review outlines the molecular mechanisms driving neoantigen generation in CRC, including frameshift mutations, single-nucleotide variants, alternative RNA splicing, and circular RNA-derived epitopes, and evaluates neoantigen-directed therapeutic platforms, encompassing personalized neoantigen vaccines and adoptive T-cell therapies that are engineered to recognize neoantigen-derived epitopes.

Novel immunotherapeutic strategies for colorectal cancer treatment: Advances, challenges, and future directions.

Immunotherapy has reshaped the treatment landscape of colorectal cancer (CRC), with the clearest and most durable benefit established in mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) disease. However, framing CRC immunotherapy simply as "MSI-H responsive versus microsatellite stable (MSS) res...

Modalities to identify clinically actionable neoantigens.

Recent experimental platforms have been developed to validate neoantigen immunogenicity, which can be complemented by single-cell RNA/T-cell receptor sequencing to identify tumor-reactive T cell clones.

Endogenous Retrovirus Neoantigen Enables Personalized Cancer Vaccine in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype 2259068

ERVs are consistently expressed and immunogenic in GBM, representing a scalable, tumor-specific antigen source that may overcome limitations of low mutational burden and provide a proof-of-concept for personalized vaccines targeting ERV-derived neoantigens.

The cancer/testis antigens represent promising targets for the development of new therapies against melanoma.

This review aims to critically analyze the immunogenic and oncogenic potential of CTAs, synthesize current preclinical and clinical evidence across distinct CTA subfamilies, and highlight innovative CTA-based immunotherapeutic strategies for the treatment of melanoma.

Mechanistic biomarkers for cancer vaccine development: from cancer cell biology to neoantigen-guided precision immunotherapy

Overall, cancer vaccines are unlikely to become universal stand-alone treatments for advanced solid tumors, and their most credible role may emerge in molecularly selected patients, adjuvant therapy, minimal residual disease, virus-associated malignancies, and rational combinations with checkpoint inhibitors or tumor m...
