Brief Summary:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly heterogenous disease. It the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and the second cause of death among cancer cases mortality. Its incidence is rising all over the world, especially in developing countries . In Egypt it is coming the seventh cancer in incidence according to World Health Organization (WHO, 2020). Although there is much improvement in the diagnosis and treatment, but CRC is still constituting a big impact on human life and health, so researchers are trying to find out new therapeutic targets .
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is an inhibitory receptor which is expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes during activation. Its role is to control T cell effector activity for various cellular responses as infections, autoimmune reactions, and cancer .
Cancer cells develop PD-ligand1 (PD-L1) expression which is a transmembrane molecule belonging to B7 family. Its action is through PD-1/PD-L1 reaction, and causing invasion and metastasis of cancer cells by protecting it from immunosurveillance by inhibiting T cell effector function, leading to carcinogenesis and development of many cancers including colorectal cancer.
