Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: High tumor mutation burden (TMB) and total mutation count (TMC) can be predictive of better response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Nevertheless, TMB and TMC are limited by variation across cancers and inconsistent definitions due to different profiling methods (targeted vs whole genome sequencing). Our objective was to identify genomic alterations (GAs) associated with ICB response and builds a...
