The remarkable efficacy demonstrated by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in melanoma treatment has driven their widespread use in the treatment of a variety of solid tumours, and they have now become one of the mainstays of oncology treatment, especially in the field of colorectal cancer, where they have demonstrated great potential. However, in long-term large-sample studies, it was found that the response to ICIs is low, and there are problems of primary and acquired resistance, which seriously affect their therapeutic effect. In this paper, we will review the mechanism of resistance to ICIs in patients with colorectal cancer and the progress in research of interventional strategies for ICI resistance, aiming to provide new ideas for the solution of the problem of clinical drug resistance to ICIs.
