Abstract excerpt
AIM: Tumor mutational burden (TMB: somatic mutations per megabase, mut/Mb) predicts the efficacy of immunotherapy. Here, we link TMB levels with the activation of immune pathways and intratumoral immune responses in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to explore immunoarchitectural patterns associated with high TMB. METHODS: We assessed TMB in 161 resected, microsatellite stable (MSS) PDACs, including 41 long-term...
