Glad to see NICHE2 finally published. This will be a gamechanger for colon cancer management. 👏
Ecstatic and proud to share the NICHE-2 results, now published in @NEJM. Out of 111 pts, 95% had an MPR , and 68% a pCR after only 4 weeks of #neoadjuvant #immunotherapy. Grateful to the pts and colleagues who made this possible. @HaanenJohn
