Expert consensus on the detection and clinical application of tumor mutational burden. reports: As an emerging biomarker, tumor mutational burden (TMB) has attracted increasing attention from clinicians in predicting the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy. Currently, TMB is detected primarily by whole-exome sequencing or targeted panel sequencing on high-throughput sequencing platforms. However, the lack of uniformity in detection methods, threshold settings, and reporting formats, as well as the significant differences in TMB values among different cancer types, have hindered the standardized application of this biomarker in clinical practice.
