Burden of tumor mutations, neoepitopes, and other variants are weak predictors of cancer immunotherapy response and overall survival

ConclusionsWe find sufficient cause to suggest that the predictive clinical value of TMB should not be overstated or oversimplified. While it is readily quantified, TMB is at best a limited surrogate biomarker of immunotherapy response. The data do not support isolated use of TMB in renal cell carcinoma.
