Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: ∼60%-70% of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have relatively low tumor mutational burden (TMB), with limited biomarker-guided immunotherapy options beyond programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. APOBEC (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like) mutational signatures, defined by characteristic genomic footprints, are associated with higher TMB...
