With significant involvement from Ruhr-Universität Bochum, the ATOMIC trial marks a breakthrough in the treatment of stage III dMMR colorectal cancer: combining standard adjuvant chemotherapy with the immunotherapy atezolizumab reduces the risk of recurrence or death by around 50% compared to chemotherapy alone.
