Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) has both prognostic value in resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and predictive value for immunotherapy response. However, TMB evaluation by whole-exome sequencing (WES) is expensive and time-consuming, hampering its application in clinical practice. In our study, we aimed to construct a mutational burden estimation model, with a small set of genes, that...
