METHOD OF IMPROVING PREDICTION OF RESPONSE FOR CANCER PATIENTS TREATED WITH IMMUNOTHERAPY

摘要

A method of determining a therapeutic regimen in a patient with cancer comprising determining in a sample from the patient the tumor mutation burden (TMB) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH), wherein high TMB in combination with no LOH is indicative of a positive outcome when treated with a checkpoint inhibitor and high TMB with LOH is indicative of a poor outcome, is provided herein.
