Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) for treating cancer patients with tumor mutation burden (TMB) >10 mutations/megabase (mut/Mb). However, high TMB (TMB-H) defined by >10 mut/Mb fails to predict ICB response across different cancer types, which has raised serious concerns on the current FDA approval. Thus, to better implement TMB as a...
