Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor Mutational Burden and Response Rate to PD-1 Inhibition

TL;DR: In a survey of the spectrum of mutational burdens in 27 types of cancers, there was a correlation between an increased mutational burden and the response to checkpoint inhibition of PD-1 and PD-L1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of tumor mutation burden as an immunotherapy biomarker: utility for the oncology clinic

TL;DR: TMB, in concert with PD-L1 expression, has been demonstrated to be a useful biomarker for ICB selection across some cancer types; however, further prospective validation studies are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting neoantigens to augment antitumour immunity

TL;DR: This Review discusses the emerging evidence that neoantigens are recognized by the immune system and can be targeted to increase antitumour immunity, and provides a framework for personalized cancer immunotherapy through the identification and selective targeting of individual tumour neoantIGens.
Journal ArticleDOI

PD-L1 expression and tumor mutational burden are independent biomarkers in most cancers.

TL;DR: The results indicate that PD-L1 expression and TMB may each inform the use of ICIs, point to different mechanisms by which PD- L1 expression regulates ICI responsiveness, and identify new opportunities for therapeutic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebrovascular atherosclerosis correlates with Alzheimer pathology in neurodegenerative dementias

TL;DR: The results provide further confirmation and specificity that vascular disease and Alzheimer's disease are interrelated and suggest that common aetiologic or reciprocally synergistic pathophysiological mechanisms promote both vascular pathology and plaque and tangle pathology.
