Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tissue tumor mutation burden (tTMB) assessed by whole-exome sequencing (WES), which has been regarded as the gold standard method of tTMB measurement, can predict the clinical benefits of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Multiple studies have investigated the feasibility of utilizing large panels to evaluate TMB but have obtained conflicting results. Furthermore, whether blood TMB (bTMB) can also...
