An immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment limits the efficacy of immunotherapy, thus patients with MSS and pMMR mCRC often face great challenges. In this phase II trial, patients received Gamma Knife SBRT combined with Tislelizumab. P Biomarker analysis was performed pre- and post-treatment. From November 2022 to July 2024, 13 of 20 patients achieved PR, 6 achieved SD. mPFS was 10.7 months (95% CI, 6.4-15.0). With no grade 4 events noted, common adverse events included nausea (65%), anemia (55%), and fatigue (45%). For patients who had not responded to first and second-line therapies, the combo of Gamma Knife SBRT and tislelizumab showed high efficacy and reasonable safety. Significant post-radiotherapy improvements in the tumor's immunosuppressive microenvironment. These results imply that patients with pMMR/MSS/MSI-L mCRC who were unresponsive to the first and second-line chemotherapy, Gamma Knife SBRT with tislelizumab provides a safe and powerful later-line treatment alternative.
