Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are the standard treatment in patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Tumour mutational burden (TMB) is a promising biomarker for the prediction of treatment outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We screened 203 patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC treated with an anti-PD-(L)1...
