Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) has been shown to be predictive of survival benefit in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Measuring TMB in the blood (bTMB) using circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers practical advantages compared with TMB measurement in tissue (tTMB); however, there is a need for validated assays and identification of...
