Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) has demonstrated efficacy in many tumor types, but predictors of responsiveness to anti-PD1 ICB are incompletely characterized.

We found that tumor mutational burden as a predictor of response was confounded by melanoma subtype, whereas multiple novel genomic and transc ...[more]
