Abstract excerpt
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy, but prediction of their benefit is challenging. Neoantigens generated through impaired non-mismatch DNA repair may result in greater ICI activity. By analyzing 1,661 ICI-treated patients, we show that deletions and mutations in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous repair (HR) pathways are predictors of ICI benefit independent of...
