Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) has emerged as a promising predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. While the feasibility of TMB analysis on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples has been thoroughly evaluated, only limited analyses have been performed on cytological samples, and no dedicated study has investigated concordance of TMB between different sample types. Here, we...
