Implementing tumor mutational burden (TMB) analysis in routine diagnostics—a primer for molecular pathologists and clinicians
14 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is a new biomarker for prediction of response to PD-(L)1 treatment. Comprehensive sequencing approaches (i.e., whole exome and whole genome sequencing) are ideally suited to measure TMB directly. However, as their applicability in routine diagnostics is currently limited by high costs, long turnaround times and poor availability of fresh tissue, targeted next-generation sequencing...
