Tumor mutation burden for predicting immune checkpoint blockade response: the more, the better by Ming Zheng

“…Equivalent results were obtained in the analyses of pooled tumors.Conclusions Our finding—the correlation that TMB-H is more robustly associated with favorable ICB treatment outcomes in cancer types with higher TMBs—can be used to predict whether TMB could be a robust predictive biomarker in cancer types for which TMB data are available, but ICB treatment has not been investigated. This theory was tested in cancer of unknown primary successfully. …”
