Abstract excerpt
Tumor mutational burden (TMB), when at a high level, is an emerging indicative factor of sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Previous studies have shown that the more affordable and accurate targeted panels can be used to measure TMB as a substitute for whole exome sequencing (WES). However, additional processes, such as hotspot mutations exclusion and TMB adjustment, are usually required to deal with...
