Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a highly malignant urologic cancer and tends to metastasize. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) bring a glimmer of light to conquer ACC, only a fraction of patients have benefit from ICIs treatment. It is well known that tumor mutational burden (TMB) is closely associated with the efficacy and response rate of immunotherapy. However, its roles in ACC were...
