Tumour mutational burden: an overview for pathologists [PDF]
Cancer immunotherapy holds great promise and has shown durable responses in many patients; however, these responses are not uniform in all patients or all tumour streams. There is an ongoing clinical need for objective diagnostic biomarkers to identify patients that will respond to immunotherapies.

What is the burden of proof for tumor mutational burden in gliomas? [PDF]
Abstract The treatment of patients with a variety of solid tumors has benefitted from immune checkpoint inhibition targeting the anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) axis. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval of PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, for the treatment of ...

Mutational burden and immune recognition of gliomas
Purpose of review Recent evidence suggests high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) as a predictor of response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in cancer. However, results in TMB-H gliomas have been inconsistent. In this article, we discuss the main pathways leading to TMB-H in glioma and how these might affect immunotherapy ...

The Challenges of Tumor Mutational Burden as an Immunotherapy Biomarker [PDF]
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) reflects cancer mutation quantity. Mutations are processed to neo-antigens and presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins to T cells. To evade immune eradication, cancers exploit checkpoints that dampen T cell reactivity.

BackgroundStudies have shown that N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) plays an important role in cancer progression; however, the underlying mechanism of m6A modification in tumor microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration of bladder cancer remains unclear.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumour, and its heterogeneity is one of its major characteristics. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), alternative polyadenylation (APA), and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA ...

Bias and Inconsistency in the Estimation of Tumour Mutation Burden
Abstract Background: Tumour mutation burden (TMB), defined as the number of somatic mutations per megabase within the sequenced region in the tumour sample, has been used as a biomarker for predicting response to immune therapy. Several studies have been conducted to assess the utility of TMB for various cancer types; however, methods to ...

Background: Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the most common tumors. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has been linked to immunotherapy response. We wanted to see if there was any link between TMB and cancer prognosis.Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas ...

Tumor mutation burden: from comprehensive mutational screening to the clinic [PDF]
The recent advent of immunomodulatory therapies into the clinic has demanded the identification of innovative predictive biomarkers to identify patients most likely to respond to immunotherapy and support the design of tailored clinical trials. Current molecular testing for selection of patients with gastrointestinal or pulmonary carcinomas relies on ...
