Abstract excerpt
Tumor mutation burden (TMB) predicts response to immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current TMB evaluation is expensive and not satisfactory. Here, novel tumor mutation score (TMS) was defined as the number of genes with mutations in candidate genes and compared with TMB and PD-L1 in 240 NSCLC patients and validated in 34 NSCLC patients. Eighteen genes were significantly associated with...
