Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) has been proposed as a prognostic biomarker in patients with metastatic cancer, as well as in patients who receive immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. However, the role of TMB as a biomarker for progression after resection of brain metastases, as well as perioperative ICI treatment response, is less defined. This study examined the impact of TMB on local CNS...
