Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The role of plasma-based tumor mutation burden (pTMB) in predicting response to pembrolizumab-based first-line standard-of-care therapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) has not been explored. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A 500-gene next-generation sequencing panel was used to assess pTMB. Sixty-six patients with newly diagnosed mNSCLC starting first-line pembrolizumab-based therapy, either...
