Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Recent clinical studies have identified tumor mutation burden (TMB) as a promising therapeutic biomarker of anti-tumor immune checkpoint blockade. However, given the relatively slow turnaround time and high expense in measuring TMB, tobacco smoking history (TSH) is an attractive replacement biomarker. The carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoking may be modified by the protective effects of genome...
