Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether clinical factors and immune microenvironment (IME) factors are associated with tumor mutation burden (TMB) in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed TMB in surgical tumor specimens by performing whole exome sequencing. IME profiles, including PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS), stromal CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density,...
